There are also pedestrian access points from Oldfield Road, the cul-de-sac at the end of Salt Meadow Road, and two points along Old Dam Road. There’s plenty of parking here.Īnother access point is behind the Fairfield Senior Center which is located on Mona Terrace, south of Old Field Road. Driving east on Old Dam Road, turn left just before the Kiwanis baseball field and proceed straight ahead to the gated entrance to the open space areas. The principal point of access to the open space areas is through the Town’s Pine Creek Recreation Area on Old Dam Road. While the Conservation Commission has designated a number of open space areas in the Pine Creek watershed and estuary, for the purpose of the Trails Guide we’ve grouped two of them together (encompassing about 110 acres), and we’re calling them the “Pine Creek Open Space Areas.” We’ve done so because the two areas provide the best opportunities for walking and hiking on the Salt Marsh Trail that winds through the estuary. The Pine Creek marshes occupy much of the central part of Fairfield's coastal area, south of the Post Road.
