Giuffrida Park was formerly land that was used for farming by Jonathan Gilbert during the late 1600’s to the early 1700’s, and later used by Captain Andrew Belcher. The farm was the region’s first European settlement and became known by the name of the “Meriden Farm.” The entire area, and then the town, took its name from the farm. The park today include almost six hundred acres of land for passive recreation, located adjacent to Meriden Municipal Golf Course. The trails at Giuffrida Park, located in the town’s northeast corner, connect to Mattabessett Trail. These trails feature easy terrain.
