City of Meriden
Recreation Task Force Committee
To: Hanover Pond Area Stakeholders.
From: Hanover Pond Initiative” sub-committee
Having formed a sub-committee to create a blueprint leading to the re-establishment of Hanover Pond as a destination for recreation, it is our Committee’s desire that the City of Meriden continue to explore alternatives that would capitalize on current momentum established by the completion of the Quinnipiac River Gorge Trail. Additionally, the design segment of the Phase II trail extending our linear trail system along the pond to Platt High School, and the ongoing renovations of the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association's headquarters at Dossin Beach, make this the opportune time to refocus our efforts in the restoration of Hanover Pond for the full use and enjoyment of Meriden residents. The endeavor began with dam reconstruction in 2005 as part of the flood control strategy, but it must not be allowed to end there.
Your input to our commitment would be most welcome. Please take a few minutes to suggest ways to improve Hanover Pond and the abutting properties, using the form below and returning by US Mail.
