Mill River Park is a 12-acre urban park located in downtown Stamford, Connecticut. The park, which separates Downtown from the West Side, features a restored section of the Mill River, extensive landscaping, and various recreational amenities. It is the result of a long-term redevelopment project aimed at reclaiming green space and improving the ecological health of the area. The park's development began in 1998 with a preliminary study by Sasaki Associates, resulting in the Mill River Corridor Plan to reclaim 26 acres of green space in downtown Stamford. In 2000, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers endorsed the removal of the Mill River Dam to restore wetland habitat and improve public access to the river. The Mill River Park Collaborative, a non-profit organization, was founded in 2003 to lead the creation, growth, and operations of the new park.
