Roosevelt Forest is a 401-acre park and town-owned forest with children’s playgrounds, picnic shelters, a tranquil pond, hiking and walking trails, benches, and good wildlife viewing. Established during the depression in the 1930s, the remarkable town-owned forest is located at the end of Peters Lane in the northern section of Stratford and is home to a wealth of natural flora and fauna including mixed deciduous forests of coniferous and deciduous broadleaf hardwoods, and small mammals, amphibians, and reptiles.
