S.H.O.P. seeks to promote the Village as a family-friendly, pedestrian-oriented community that celebrates Sandy Hook’s unique historic heritage and beautiful natural setting.
Sandy Hook was the first settlement beyond the village of Newtown. The quaint little settlement that we know now started to form shortly after the first Gristmill was built on the Pootatuck River to utilize the waterpower of the substantial river. The village center businesses opened to serve the workers here to run the many industrial endeavors that followed.
In a statement from Michael Burton, S.H.O.P. President, “The Heritage Park, and Trail project has been seven years in the making. It is a partnership between the Town, S.H.O.P., and many generous donors. Collectively, we are transforming a blight into a beautiful asset to the community. It will increase everyone’s property value and allow the business community to increase their volumes due to increased parking and recreational space.”
HISTORY and PURPOSE
The Heritage Park and Trail in Sandy Hook is a community space on a town-owned property that we lease for $1/year. The park includes a pavilion, 30 public parking places, and a green space extending to the river. S.H.O.P. continues fundraising for Phase Two of the project, The Heritage Trail.
S.H.O.P. Board members will be on hand to showcase our initiatives for Heritage Park, and concert-goers can donate to support the project.
