Shepard Park
The land now today called Shephard Park was donated to the Town of Milford in 1898 as a site for a school and playground. The next year, in 1899 an additional piece of land adjacent to the original parcel was donated by Andrew Shephard. The park was named, at the donor’s request after his great grandfather, John Shephard, who in 1791 built Milford’s first sawmill and gristmill. In 1915 the first ball field was constructed, followed by a softball diamond in 1950. Today, Shepard Park consists of a 60’ baseball field which was built by the Rotary and dedicated as the Hugo Trentini Memorial Park in June, 1961, a baseball practice field, and a playground. The park is also home of the Boy Scout house in the old school building. The Boy Scout house, is managed by the American Legion for use by the Boy Scouts of America and Cub Scouts of Troop 4.
