Tolland/UConn Teaming Up For 'Senior Park' Project
Tolland and UConn are teaming up for a project that would create a park for seniors in town.
TOLLAND, CT — The Tolland Conservation Commission is teaming up with the University of Connecticut Landscape Architecture Program to generate ideas for a park for seniors on a municipally owned 13-acre property on Sugar Hill Road.
The land was donated by the Wanat family a number of years ago with a stipulation that it be used for open space and that "benefits Tolland seniors," local officials said.
An informational session is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 18, from noon to 3 p.m., at the senion center, 674 Tolland Stage Road. It is designed to be a hands-on session where attendees will work with the UConn students to generate ideas for the property. A light lunch will be provided.
