WESTBROOK CITY FOREST

The City of Westbrook is developing a master plan for the City Forest. The City Forest will be an open space recreational amenity for the Westbrook community. The plan for the City Forest will include a comprehensive trail system, areas for outdoor play and education, and infrastructure to support community use. 

PROJECT FUNDING: Funding for this project will come from a variety of sources. The build-out of the City Forest will likely take place over several years, as grant assistance and funding becomes available.

The City Forest is located on two parcels of forested land north of the Westbook Community Center and Congin Elementary School. The close proximity of the City Forest to the Community Center and School make this an ideal location for a public recreational amenity.  

The combined size of the two City Forest parcels is approximately 75 acres. The existing landscape is forested, with variations in topography and areas with exposed ledge and rock outcrops. The parcels are bordered and intersected by three active transmission line corridors.

The Westbrook Recreation & Conservation Commission is guiding this master planning process with assistance from the Westbook Planning Department and design consultants: TJD&A Landscape Architects and Planners / OBP Trailworks. 

As part of this planning work, we have completed an extensive inventory and analysis of the property, met with individual stakeholders, and developed this draft plan.

We are now looking for feedback and comments from members of the Westbrook community! Your input is important to us. Please click the button below to tell us what you think about the Draft Plan for the City Forest.
