it was shut down.<\/p>\n<p>The park\u2019s chief feature, a 145-acre pond, won\u2019t reopen for swimming, at least for the foreseeable future. But visitors will be able to use a splash pad, covered picnic pavilions with table and grills, a kayak and canoe launch, a fishing pier, a bird watching tower, a playground and trails through the property, according to design consultants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is more of a passive park: trails, picnic areas, pavilions, a boat launch,\u201d Michael Zaleski, president and chief executive officer of Riverfront Recapture, told a small audience at a Hartford-sponsored public meeting last week to update progress on Batterson.<\/p>\n<p>The nonprofit agency hasn\u2019t signed a contract yet, but the state and the city of Hartford anticipate it will take on day-to-day management of Batterson after the renovation.<\/p>\n<p>The remodeled park won\u2019t have ballfields or other facilities for team sports, large-scale concerts or plays, but will include a large event lawn and parking for about 100 cars, according to the design plan. The new design hasn\u2019t been formally accepted yet, but officials are making presentations this month to show it to residents.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>Read the full story <a
