Meriden Roadside Park
Meriden Roadside Park, once abandoned, was reopened
in 2006, and includes a picnic shelter with a 10' table, a large charcoal grill,
vault toilet and walking trail. The area lies just west of Meriden on State
Highway 3, between the highway and the railroad. Soil conditions range
from wet to dry on this 16-acre parcel, supporting diverse plant species and
wildlife. Shrub plantings and native prairie grasses and forbs (wildflowers)
host many native butterfly and bird species and provide a relaxing and scenic
atmosphere for travelers, picnickers, and other visitors seeking a change of
pace.
