Silver Sands is adjacent to the city-owned park, Walnut Beach. The main entrance is located on Meadowside Road in Milford.
==History==
The park land was acquired by the state after Hurricane Diane destroyed 75 homes there in 1955. The area includes the tidal channels of the Fletcher's Creek and Nettleton Creek watershed and had been a local dumping site and landfill until 1977.〔(Anthropogenic Trace Metals in Tidal Marsh Sediments, Silver Sands State Park, Milford, CT ), Dias, S., Page, L., Fleming, T. H., and Coron, C. R., The Geological Society of America, Northeastern Section - 40th Annual Meeting (March 14–16, 2005) Saratoga Springs, New York.〕 Soil analyses have indicated the presence of heavy metal pollutants, probably due to the area's use as a dump.〔
In 1997, a project to restore the coastal wetlands along Silver Sands was approved. The park was renovated according to plans begun in 1990 by architect Alfredo De Vido and completed in 2000.
