Lighthouse Point Park
- Park
- Regional draw
- New Haven
At the entrance to New Haven Harbor, Lighthouse Point Park combines a coastal setting with the historic Five Mile Point Light.
The lighthouse and seasonal carousel give the park a distinct identity beyond an ordinary stretch of waterfront.
Check the city's current parking and visitor information before arriving. Lighthouse interiors are not routinely open simply because the park is accessible, and carousel operations are seasonal; plan the visit around confirmed arrangements and the day's weather.
Visitor details reviewed October 17, 2026. Check official visitor information for current access, admission, and operating arrangements. View on OpenStreetMap.
