Who are the Friends of Island Park? A group of citizens and professionals from Brattleboro, Hinsdale, and beyond with a mission to elevate and steward the path (aka former Rte. 119 roadbed) and surrounding natural area for ecological and community benefits.

A 22-acre playground until early in the last century, the island once anchored Brattleboro and Hinsdale’s historic connection to the Connecticut River. The island provided circus grounds, playing fields, and a 3,000 seat pavilion during the Island Park era of 1911-1927. As a hub for river access and outdoor recreation, the island and bridges complex can now again anchor a vibrant river connection for downtown Brattleboro, Hinsdale, and the region’s trail networks & biking loops.
