About

Dedicated to creating a lifelong connection to Nature.
Fostering an ethic of environmental stewardship that connects our communities to the natural world.

Story

Once an active dairy farm, the 150 acre Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center landscape encompasses mature woodlands, old fields and several wetland types. This includes a two acre pond and streams and a hardwood swamp. In 1977 the Schumacher Pavilion was constructed of Connectcut stone and glass, and houses several exhibits, provides space for our
"ambassadors" and a Connecticut wildlife rehabilitation clinic. The unique visitor cent
er is also the hub of the park with classrooms, a nature store, a small history library
and office space. Ansonia Nature Center is open year round, except for major holidays, from sun up to sun down. Building hours vary with the season.

Mission

The mission statement of the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center is to foster an ethic of enviornmental stewardship that will connect our communities to the natural world of the Lower Naugatuck River valley, and balance the demand for recreation with the need for conservation.

This center is very close to my house and there was parking available even on a busy, sunny Saturday afternoon. We took the dogs on the trails, which was nice, but I wish the deeper trails were better kept. We had a lot of trouble finding some of the paths due to lack of wear. Would definitely go back, but a map may have been helpful if we decided to trek deeper into the trails.

Attended an amazing Fall Festival today. So fun! Got to see all kinds of live animals, buy some affordable crafts, see old fashioned Native American tools and camp equipment, and take pleasant hikes. Made for a lovely date :)

I love the new playground and we always love to check out the animals however the staff is incredibly rude and they take themselves way too seriously. I took my son up there this afternoon because they were taking the animals out and letting the children pet them but the woman in charge of the presentation was very slow and spoke in an unexciting monotonous tone so some of the children were less than interested and she would stop the presentation over the smallest interruption in a room full of 2-5 year olds. While it's nice that they're making an effort to educate children about wildlife it's absurd to ask a room full of preschoolers to sit quietly with their hands folded if you're not even going to attempt to entertain them. A friendlier attitude from the staff would go a long way.
