Wolcott Park
The GPS address for Wolcott Park is 1341 New Britain Avenue, but that is misleading. Better to set your GPS to Wolcott Road and park in the lower parking lot. There is another parking lot off of Chatfield Drive, but it can get crowded.
Fern Park
The GPS address for Fern Park is 567 Fern Street. There are two large parking lots just off of Fern Street. There is also street parking on the other side of Fern Park (on Whitman Avenue).
