Update on the Still River Greenway

It’s been 11 long years of working on the Still River Greenway and we are happy to report that we have actually completed phase I. Phase I is roughly a quarter-mile in length, and we remain focused on phase II of the plan that will include approximately two more miles of paved multiuse trail.

This phase II represents the “lion’s share” of the project that is currently in the final design phase and will follow along the Still River corridor leading north to what will become our pedestrian-friendly Village District. Feel free to check out what we’ve accomplished so far, parking is available next to the police station and detailed plans of the next phase will be posted on-site this spring.

Update on Kid’s Kingdom Playground

The Kids Kingdom II project has been substantially completed this fall. Thanks to a mild fall, work continues at the Town Hall site. The finishing touches will be completed in early spring 2012 and this project is sure to continue the tradition of bringing a sense of pride to our community. Feel free to do a drive-by this winter and you’ll get a feel for the fun that will be had here!

Last Call for the Initial Adopt-a-Bench Program

There’s still time to be a part of the Kids Kingdom II project. The Brookfield Parks and Recreation Department has initiated an “adopt a bench” program, allowing individuals and businesses the opportunity to purchase a park bench or picnic table specifically for the Kid’s Kingdom II playground area. Each bench or picnic table will include an engraved plaque recognizing your contribution. What a great opportunity to advertise a business, pay tribute to a loved one or to honor the community spirit of the playground.

Please visit for more information. Should you have more questions on the Adopt-a-Bench program please contact Donna at 203-775-7311.
