East Rock Park is a free park in the city of New Haven and the town of Hamden. It is a nice area for jogging, biking, trails. Also it has a grill area with a beautiful view.

It's a beautiful view when you get to the top. The last time I was there many years ago you could drive to the top so be warned If you haven't been there in years you have to park in the lot below and walk up. I did the walk up it was farther than I thought and tough because I have severe back and feet issues .

This is a great place to see New Haven laid out at your feet, the Sound beyond and on most days Long Island on the horizon. It’s heaven for walkers and cyclists. You can stroll up to the top on English Drive with no worries about motor traffic, clamber up the Giant’s Staircase or ride your mountain bike through the woods on mile after mile of trails ranging from smooth and relaxing to seriously technical. There are usually no refreshments on sale in the park, so bring your own.

Awesome park!! Has several trails up to the top ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 miles depending on which route you take. Great place to come for a run or job.

Is east rock still closed for vehicle to drive to the top?

It was still closed to vehicles today (June 2021). I know people who would like to go, but they can't handle the walk/hike.

What is going on with the lack of lighting these past few weeks? It's our most beautiful landmark and its a shame that it's not being displayed properly. Anyone know why?

Yes, my dogs love the park. They seem to like the trails along the river best. They must be leashed thought. Beware of other owners.

Is East Rock parkclosed to cars?

Joyce Blandon | Jul 18, 2021
Tim Healey | Jul 19, 2021

Yes, I have noticed that there seems to be an effort to get us back to the top. I have seen a lot of lower levels are being used now daily and I have my fingers crossed with the road to the top where the sites of our beautiful city are easily seen and appreciated by life long residents of the area.

Is that mountain the correct height to save my life in case of a Tsunami? I live minutes away from the place and I don't see another place nearby available to save my life and mine.

PR FINO | Jul 16, 2021

Yes. The monument area is 326 feet above sea level. You will be safe there. And you would have a beautiful view of the tsunami as it comes in to land. Bring a camera.
