WALNUT HILL PARK.
It having been discovered by careful examinations and surveys, that a supply of water for New Britain could probably be obtained at Shuttle Meadow, it was determined in 1856 to make an effort to secure a sys- tem of water works adequate for the place. To make the system com- plete, it was deemed absolutely essential to have a reservoir on Walnut Hill. About the same time, the property embracing the summit of the hill was offered for sale as part of a bankrupt estate. A few public- spirited gentlemen determined, if possible, to secure it for the uses of the contemplated water works and also for a public park. The property was sold at public auction October 15, 1856, and was bid off by Henry E.

Russell for himself and others. Ten leading men of the town invested in the property, each holding an equal share, agreeing to convey to the borough authorities gratuitously the land for a reservoir and its approaches, and ultimately to transfer to the people the whole property for a public park. The water works were built the next year, the reservoir on Walnut Hill was completed and the ground on which it stood legally transferred to the borough. The remainder of the property was held by the Park Company for thirteen years, during which time it had largely increased in value and could have been sold at a profit to the proprietors, but was still offered at cost and interest for public uses.
At a town meeting held January 11, 1869, after hearing a report from a committee appointed at a previous meeting, it was voted " that the selectmen be instructed to accept the liberal proposal of the Walnut Hill Park Company, and to contract for said property together with property of individuals adjacent thereto," with whom negotiations had been made by the committee appointed at a previous meeting. In accordance with this vote the land now constituting the park was secured by the town. This tract embraces about eighty acres, including the reservoir on Walnut Hill. It lies on West Main Street, and extends to Grand Street and Hart Street, there being entrances to the park by driveways from all these streets. The land included in the park is agreeably diversified by nature, and if the plans for improvement are carried out the place will eventually become an attractive feature of the city and town.
The first park commissioners appointed May 31, 1869, were H. E. Russell, G. M. Landers, and Julius Fenn. During the first five years the work done for improving the park was mainly in the direction of drainage and in making suitable roads. Numerous trees were planted in the park in 1876 by citizens of the town, and others have since been added. The income of the bequest of $50,000 left by the will of the late C. B. Erwin will provide for further improvements by supplement- ing whatever amount is appropriated by the town for that purpose.
