Savin Rock, West Haven, CT, USA

Savin Rock is a section of West Haven, Connecticut,[1] named after the rocky outcropping at the shorefront in Bradley Point Park.

It was the site of the Savin Rock Amusement Park, which began in the late 19th century as a regionally renowned seaside resort. It evolved into a general amusement park in the 20th century and eventually closed in 1966.[2][3][4][5]

The park ran along the west side of New Haven Harbor beachfront and is today a walk and bike path. The path is part of the East Coast Greenway.
