Norton Park Plainville a Great Place to Fly a Kite

Most locals know about Norton Park in Plainville, CT. Norton Park is your standard municipal park. It's a great place to go for a lei surly bike ride, rollerblade, walk, or run. It boasts a playground, baseball fields, tennis, basketball, soccer fields, picnic area, and a paved marked pedestrian path.
It's not the kind of place that someone would travel a great distance to visit. However, if you're in the neighborhood or new to the area, you might consider checking it out.
Norton Park is flat and open, which makes it very versatile. Over the winter I participated in several pick-up flag football games at Norton Park. This weekend there was a decent breeze, so I took my son and we had a fun time flying a kite. There were two other kite fliers at the park on this day. The address for Norton Park is below:
