The Stratfield Militia Ground or Clinton Park is a flat grassy rectangle of about one acre. Located within the proposed Stratfield Historic District, its two sides are bordered by busy divided two lane roads, Brooklawn Avenue to the northeast and North Avenue to the southeast. The other two sides are bordered by private property. To the northwest is the former residence of Ms. Elizabeth Sterling Seeley (1911), P.T. Barnum's granddaughter. Built in 1911 in a French Normandy style, it is now a rooming house and separated from the green by a chain link fence. The largest and most disruptive to the rhythm and scale of buildings around the green is the seven-story brick apartment building to the southwest. When it was built, the owners were accused of extending their excavations into Clinton Park by the Board of Park Commissioners. The Commission requested that a fence be erected to protect the Park's boundaries and also that trees be planted to screen the building from view. They erected a utilitarian chain link fence but the few trees do not provide an effective screen.
Across the street from the green on North and Brooklawn Avenues are single family detached residences dating from the 19th and early-20th century on 50' x 100' lots in the Queen Anne, Tudor, and Colonial revival styles.
Diagonally across from the green and dominating the streetscape is the First Church of Christian Scientist, a traditional white clapboard Colonial Revival church built in the 1960s. It is diagonally situated on its lot and addresses the park across the intersection. Trees randomly forming an forming an alee and reinforce the diagonal.
A large granite memorial celebrating the bicentennial of the US. Is on the corner of the green facing the church. A second memorial, a bronze plaque set in stone about 18" high, is located on the same corner, erected in 1915 by the D.A.R. to mark the old King's Highway. (The first Post rider made the trip from New York to Boston in January 1678.) The arched stone gateway to the cemetery with an ornate wrought-iron gate were also erected by the D.A.R. in 1901 in memory of the soldiers who rest in the Burial Ground.
There are six park benches in the park along the footpath also on a diagonal which runs north to south. The trees (including cedars, maples and lindens) and bushes appear scattered over the park and any traces of an overall landscaping scheme are not apparent. The landscaping has suffered somewhat from neglect; the paths and plantings are not as they would have been in the late-19th century and the elms planted in 1917 have died.
