One of the founders of Texaco, Lewis Lapham commissioned this stately Elizabethan-style mansion, known as “The Castle” in 1912. Waveny House is in 300 acres of flowing grounds laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., and would stay in the family until 1967 when it was sold to New Canaan to become this distinguished park.nnAs well as being a grand place to take a wander, Waveny Park has its fair share of amenities, including an Olympic-size open air-pool and paddle tennis courts.nnIt’s also prominent in New Canaan’s events calendar, staging weekly concerts on Wednesdays in summer, as well as the Fourth of July fireworks, plays at the Powerhouse and an annual Easter egg hunt.nnThe house needs a mention for its mullioned windows and turreted chimney stacks, and was designed by William Tubby.
Gorgeous place. Has beautiful flower garden. Plenty of space, people having picnics. Hiking trails. Dogs can come but stay on leash. Stunning scenery , which brings many artists with their easels and photographers with their cameras.
Amazing! Nice big park, and cell phone connection is fantastic! Good place to have a nice walk or hike in. Even great for biking. There's a huge soccer field, as well as racquetball court! Nice HUMONGUS pool! Lovely park, and nice historic mansion!
This is the place to be. Will go back for a winter photo shoot again. Loved it. Wonderful place for kids to run around or have picnic in summer.
Great park. Awesome trails. Good for biking or walking. Pond in the back is beautiful. July 4th fireworks are amazing, though we missed this time due to Covid.
