Pocket Park
If you drive south about 100 yards on Bloomfield’s Broughton Ave.,
You’ll find a vacant lot where 532 Broughton should be. This is a publicly accessible space that was deeded to the town with the priviso that it remain open.
Take a short walk past the “No Dumping” sign and you’ll find one of the best views in town! You are directly above the center of Clark’s Pond Nature Preserve (Caution: stay back from the steep cliff!) and across from Huck MS field.
The pond is still very low due to the dredging work that will be finished when the spring thaw takes hold. Between May and October the tree cover on the slope will be too thick to see much but you can usually hear an amazing variety of birds—and an occasional frog.
