Ansonia to celebrate recharged Abe Stone Park/Colony Pond Saturday

But first a look back, courtesy of the City of Ansonia Facebook page:


"With Abe Stone Park & Colony Pond set for a celebration event this Saturday (July 27), here’s a scene from the pond in 1956. 
"The building shown originally included a concessions stand, dressing room and showers. Note the cement and wood plank benches and lifeguard station on left. A man made beach extends from the building to water."
The Evening Sentinel photo caption read: “Colony Park Pond is a busy spot these warm, summer days as hundreds of youngsters with their parents, flock there daily following playground programs elsewhere in the city. Ansonia Recreation Commission supervises the popular swimming spot in conjunction with its summer program. Supervised swimming is provided daily and weekends.” — at Abe Stone Park.
