Bates Woods Park

Bates Woods Park is located next to New London High School and offers three baseball fields, two play areas, three pavilions and on-site parking. It spans more than 95 acres on the northeast side of New London. It is home to the Bates Woods Environmental Education Program, which is dedicated to inspiring children to appreciate nature and acquire knowledge of earth science and land use. A new playscape that sits atop a cushioned surface was added in 2010 as part of an extensive renovation program.
