Reply to comment by stinkstankstunkiii in Hartford-owned Batterson Park to become CT state park, made free if new plan approved by ThatsALotOfOranges

It doesn't border Hartford though, it's entirely enclosed by New Britain and Farmington and about 4 miles driving from the Hartford border. It just seems odd that the City of Hartford would own the land, unless this was originally a reservoir for the city.
