Lighthouse Point Park is reopening this Friday!

Thank you to the Parks Department and city workers who labored day in and day out to bring the park back online following last month’s storm.

There is more work to do — and the carousel building is a longer-term project that will take time to repair, restore and reactivate, but the rest of the park is open to the public to use and enjoy!

Press conference | Mayor Elicker, City and State Leaders Announce the Reopening of Lighthouse Point Park
—
Severe storm damage from the weather events of August 13th uprooted and felled 95 trees in the park and caused significant damage to the historic carousel building and other areas of the park, requiring the park to be closed to the public. Since then, the Parks Department and other city workers have been working to restore the park to a state of good condition, including securing the carousel building; removing and pruning downed and damaged trees; cleaning up broken glass and debris; and assisting individuals with identifying new venues for weddings and other events and celebrations that were scheduled to occur at the park while it was closed. Beginning this Friday, September 18th, Lighthouse Point Park will be reopened to the public at its normal opening hour of 7 am.

At the announcement, Mayor Elicker and city officials provided further details of the actions taken to date to reopen the park and an overview of the work that remains ahead.

This morning, we gathered to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States, to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day, and to honor the heroic actions of first responders.

September 11th showed evil at its worst, and it showed Americans and our first responders at their best.

Following the attacks, New Haven responded to join our neighbors in need and sent a contingent of New Haven firefighters to assist their fellow first responders with the recovery efforts in New York.

And, today, we grieve with New Yorkers at Ground Zero, Pennsylvanians in the fields of Shanksville, Virginians and Washingtonians at the Pentagon, and all Americans who lost loved ones on that fateful day.

We also honor the legacy of those lost and the first responders who ran into harm’s way, and whose bravery still serves as a lasting inspiration to all of us today.
