Waveny Park (also known as Waveny House) is a park in New Canaan, Connecticut. The park's centerpiece is "the castle" built in 1912〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Story of Waveny )〕 and surrounded by of fields, ponds and trails. The architect for the structure was William Tubby. Landscape design for the original residence was by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. The house was used for exterior shots for the fictional 'Cortlandt Manor' on the soap opera ''All My Children'' for many years; exteriors of the estate were also used in the 2004 remake film ''The Stepford Wives''. The park is bordered by Farm Road to the North, the Merritt Parkway to the South, South Avenue to the East and Lapham Avenue to the West. Over the years, numerous additional town structures have been built on parts of the property including New Canaan High School, (Waveny LifeCare Network ) , an aquatic center, two public water supply towers, as well as paddle tennis courts. To be able to use some of these facilities, a nominal annual fee is charged. The Parks recreations are enjoyed by many people from all around Fairfield County. Lewis Lapham, one of the founders of Texaco and the man who built Waveny House, spent summers there with his family for many years. The Lapham family gave the Town of New Canaan most of the estate land in 1967 and sold Waveny House and its surrounding to the Town for $1,500,000. ==Pictures== Image:WavenyParkNewCanaanCt07252007.JPG|Waveny mansion in Waveny Park Image:Waveny-front.jpg|Covered entryway/portico Image:Waveny-view-from-back-deck.jpg|View of "The Great Lawn" from the back deck Image:Waveny-view-from-back-lawn.jpg|View of the back of the castle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waveny Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
