Wilton Day at Merwin Meadows

Wilton’s Parks and Recreation Department is kicking off summer and showing off a refurbished Merwin Meadows by throwing a party for all Wilton residents. On Saturday, June 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Parks & Rec is hosting “Wilton Day at Merwin Meadows” and all residents are invited for free fun and festivities. With proof of Wilton residency, attendees will be able to enjoy free food and activities for all ages. Among the fun events and features will be face painting, music, corn hole, beach volleyball, inflatables (duel-sport combo bounce house, climbing area and slide), sack races, fencing demonstrations, playground and swings, and of course swimming in the Merwin pond. In addition, Parks & Rec has a new tug-of-war rope that stretches across the entire pond and teams will compete from opposite shores; the winning team is the team that pulls its entire opposing team into the pond.
