A Day at Fulton Park - Waterbury CT

Dear Mr. Walton,

Thank you for posting your photos of Fulton Park.  I grew up on Hill Street in the 1960's and used to go to Fulton Park for swimming in the summer, ice skating in the winter, and baseball games after school.  It was a lovely dose of nostalgia.

Thanks again!

what happened to the beautiful park i grew up with? i took my children to see the park that i had spent my childhood days in and i was just embarassed. the pond looks terrible the walkways around the ponds are all broken up and forget about the playscape, its all boared up. Garbage is everywhere. the spinkler, where my brother and i kept cool in the summer is destroyed. why have you let the once beautiful park go down hill. i can only hope that one day it will get cleaned up so my children can i can enjoy what i remember it once to be.

Hello Mr. Walton, you know me from your 1st period history class.  I was wondereing what could be done to have matinence in the park kept up.  The sprinkler hasen't worked in years, the buildings aroung the park, such as the green house are from what I hear filled with mold and anamal fecies.  The side walks are craked and have spray paint on them, and the smaller walkways that are more hidden in the trees in the shade are filled with trash and broken, making it dangerous to walk.  The parks natural beauty is covered in empty chip bags and there are drug deals at night.  What can be done to help the park because one day I want to bring my little brother to Fulton park and have him enjoy the swings and the pond, instead of asking me why there is so much garbage everywhere?
