At the western edge of Greens Farms is Sherwood Island State Park just off Exit 18 of I-95. Sherwood Island State Park is a public recreation area on the shore of Long Island Sound that offers a nature center, picnic grove, swimming, fishing, and wetlands on 238 acres. The Friends of Sherwood Island is a coalition of outdoors and sports enthusiasts, environmentalists, and citizens who organized in 1955.

The Post Road serves as one of the borders of the Greens Farms neighborhood and offers easy access to boutique shops, restaurants, and other wonderful amenities.

As the NYTimes states, “The Greens Farms Neighborhood has retained enough historic charm and woodlands to sustain an atmosphere of country living. Its proximity to Long Island Sound and distinction as the oldest residential section of Westport have also contributed to Greens Farms’ reputation as a promised land for the most well-to-do suburban settlers.”
