Cristoforo Colombo Park - East Park

Formally known as Chandler Hill Park, Cristoforo Colombo Park was deeded to the City on December 6, 1909, by vote of the Parks Commissioners. The present acreage of the park is 81.288. One portion of the land was purchased from the former State Hospital in the years 1887 to 1889. The East Side Trail also begins at Cristoforo Colombo Park, leading all the way to Lake Quinsigamond.
