Goetzen
Brook starts near the southeast corner
of Wilton's Town Forest and is most
conspicuous as it flows along Saunders
Drive and through Saunders Pond north
of Olmstead Hill Road, then south
into Allen's Meadows Park. The entire
course of this brook lies west of
Route 7 opposite Cannondale.
Allen's
Meadows is the site of Wilton's community
gardens, and is also used for athletic
events, flea markets, and other public
events where a large flat expanse
is needed. The park's upper pond has
become a marsh area with no open water,
and its lower pond (a small rectangular
area created by gravel removal) is
littered and neglected.
