Major Michael Donnelly Land Preserve<br />

Trails stretch over wetlands, woods, and fields from Sullivan Avenue to West Road and pass over the Podunk<br />

River. Wooden pathways over marshy areas and bridges over sections <strong>of</strong> the river have been constructed for<br />

easier passage. Along the way you will find blinds for sitting and observing wildlife. At the beginning <strong>of</strong> these<br />

trails you will find a gazebo and fishing dock on the side <strong>of</strong> a small pond where you can enjoy some fishing.<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>Windsor</strong> Wildlife Sanctuary<br />

This is a great place for nature enthusiasts to go for a stroll. It is left as untouched as possible to preserve the<br />

natural environment. Paths are maintained just enough to make them passable. Signs along the trails display<br />

information on the types <strong>of</strong> vegetation that are present. Atop the sledding hill located in the Sanctuary is the<br />

highest point in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Windsor</strong> which provides an impressive view <strong>of</strong> surrounding areas.<br />

Nevers Park<br />

This is the ideal place to get some exercise and to enjoy the sights and sounds <strong>of</strong> nature. A stone-dust path<br />

stretches along athletic fields, past the Bark Park and through a section <strong>of</strong> woods. Along the way you will find<br />

ponds, streams and vernal pools as well as exercise stations ranging from pull-ups to calf stretches. A facility<br />

containing a large gazebo, horse shoe pits and a sand volleyball court are available for the <strong>pub</strong>lic to rent.<br />

Community<br />

Center<br />

The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Windsor</strong> lost a long-time dedicated employee<br />

and friend—Barry Scanlon—on Thursday, April 10, <strong>2008</strong>, after a<br />

lengthy illness. Barry was a building maintainer for the <strong>Town</strong>, a<br />

13-year veteran <strong>of</strong> the Public Buildings Division <strong>of</strong> the Public<br />

Works Department. He was a unique individual who never took<br />

anything for granted and who was grateful for<br />

what the <strong>Town</strong> had provided him throughout his<br />

years as an employee. He remained positive<br />

throughout his illness. His compassion for others<br />

and his ever-present smile were contagious. He<br />

loved people and was always there to lend a hand<br />

when needed. We are forever grateful for having<br />

had Barry as both an employee and as a<br />

friend. His wisdom, spirit, enthusiasm, and sense<br />

<strong>of</strong> humor will be dearly missed.<br />
