Six Lakes is 102.5 acres in Hamden featuring mature forest, hiking paths, and six small ponds. Also known as Olin Powder Farm, the area was an industrial site from the 1800s to the 1960s. Still owned by Olin, the property is off limits to the public. In 1986, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection ordered Olin to assess and clean up industrial waste polluting the property. Olin started the job but never finished it. Local residents, politicians, activists, and environmental groups are working together to hold Olin accountable and to preserve and renew Six Lakes for everyone. Join the Six Lakes Park Coalition and the office of Mayor Lauren Garrett for this informational meeting, with a presentation by DEEP followed by Q&A.
