Sand Hill Reservoir Recreation Area
On November 10, 2022 the new Sand Hill Reservoir Recreation Area officially opened.
All visitors are welcome, year-round, to the site and the reservoir. However, the parking lot is restricted to Wilton residents with registered vehicle stickers. The Wilton resident-only parking area can be accessed off Isaac Frye Hwy. Car stickers are available, free of charge, at the Town Hall for any Wilton resident or tax payer, with proof of vehicle registration. The parking area is open from dawn to dusk, year-round.
New trails have been opened along logging roads and will be maintained for hikers. 
A new kiosk (see right) displays information about the site and lists town regulations to keep it safe for people and wildlife. A trail bridge off Sand Hill Road provides additional access along the new Hunter and Fish Trails, and links to the new parking area and the peninsula.

Goss Park
Since 1959, Goss Park has been the local ‘go to’ spot for kids to learn how to swim and for families to enjoy the summer. The brook-fed water features two diving boards, a floating slide, swim lanes for exercise and swim teams, and areas for people of all abilities to enjoy. There’s also a sand volleyball court, playground, basketball and futsal courts, a baseball field, a grill, and a pavilion with a snack bar. The park is open mid-June through late August and can be rented out for events.
