Lamson Woods, spanning 43 acres, is a wooded preserve with trails and ponds. Swimming is not permitted here, but hiking and biking are encouraged. Designated in 1930, this area was Fairfield's first golf course, named "cow-pasture golf.". Over the years, the natural habitats have recovered, and today there is a diverse ecosystem featuring a mix of upland and lowland forests with an array of tree species like cottonwood, white oak, and shagbark hickory.
