Facilities
The Calf Pasture Beach area has a large guarded beach, a fishing pier, a tree shaded playground, a small unpaved boatramp (suited to cartop boat launches not trailers), sand volleyball courts, bocce courts, a skateboard park, baseball diamonds (with lighting for nighttime games), accessible restrooms, and a restaurant maintained by Stew Leonard's. Adjacent Shady Beach Park offers an unmonitored beach, shaded picnic tables, grills, and additional rest room facilities. Adjacent to Shady Beach is Taylor Farm Park which has a tidal pool and grassy and wooded areas for dogwalking. Taylor Farm Park is the site of an annual Greenwich Kennel club dog show. During the spring and autumn seasons the parking lot at Calf Pasture Beach is used for kart racing.
Sailboats and kayaks can be rented within the Park at the Norwalk Sailing School which also offers a small craft safety training program. Calf Pasture Beach is a major landmark along the Norwalk Islands Canoe/Kayak Trail.
Boater safety courses are offered at the Dominic Lametta training center at U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 72 at Calf Pasture.
The annual 4th of July fireworks show in Norwalk is held at Calf Pasture Beach.
