Bridgeport, is a bustling port city
located at the mouth of the Pequonnock
River on Long Island Sound. The
community has seen a remarkable

with the extensive redevelopment
efforts taking place in its downtown
and other neighborhoods. In addition

metropolitan area that is home to
several major corporations and
financial institutions. As a vibrant hub,
Bridgeport offers great transportation
access to New England and New York’s
economic, sports, and cultural
opportunities via Metro-North, I-95,
the Merritt Parkway, and the Port
Jefferson Ferry, serving Long Island.

Living up to its official nickname of
“Park City,” Bridgeport is home to 35
public parks covering over 1,300 acres
of abundant green space. The luscious
greens fill the town with pocket parks
scattered throughout neighborhoods.
