Description

Sunrise Park is a beautful park surrounding the picturesque White's Pond on the side of West Suffield Mountain. The park has many hiking trails throughout, and borders the Metacomet Trail. White's Pond is a perfect pond for canoeing and fishing, and the swimming area is a great place to cool off in the summer.

Sunrise park is open to all Suffield residents. There is no overnight parking or camping.
