Winslow Park is Westport’s — maybe Fairfield County’s — favorite dog park.
Before its most recent run though, it was other things: a sanitarium (for half a century) — and before that, one of the most elegant estates in town (here’s looking at you, State Senator Henry Richard Winslow, and your wife Mary).
