A.W. Stanley Park & Pool
New Britain, Connecticut
TLBA was retained by the City of New Britain to provide a comprehensive Master Plan of park facilities along Stanley Street in the City. The result was a reorganization of about 12-acres to provide a new aquatic facility, recreational fields, little-league baseball field, basketball courts and improved circulation for both vehicles and pedestrians. An elevated overlook also takes advantage of views over wetlands to a pond beyond.
The aquatic facilities provide a zero-depth entry, leisure pool with spray features, in-pool basketball, a six-lane, 25-yard lap pool, water slide, overwater climbing walls and diving boards. New buildings to support the facility include the bathhouse, concessions, public toilets, and maintenance space.
