It seems like the only way to visit this park, as a non resident, is to buy a park pass, on a week day, during work hours. That's really hard! Is that true?

Parking pass in addition to entrance pass during season which started May 1st. Limited pass sales timing is correct.

I assumed there wasn't access by non-residents at all, but happy with the implication that i was incorrect, unless the cost is prohibitive.

Free acces is available for those attending Bruce Museum Seaside Center programs on the first Sunday of each month, 1:30 to 4 pm. Also free admission for Experience the Sound event, Sunday, June 24, 2018. Just slert front gate personnel.

There are 2 civic centers in Greenwich both open 9 am to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday ...love Todd's point is worth the trip. Hope this helps

Yes, you need the pass to enter in season. You also need a parking pass if you're going by car
