Baldwin Park is approximately a two-acre triangle at the intersection of North Main Street and Route 6. It rises steeply near North Main Street below the high school. An asphalted lane connects Route 6 and North Main Street through the east end of the park below the rise. Boulders line the west side of this lane to keep cars from driving or parking on the greensward. On the east side of this lane the land rises to meet the boundaries of residential properties, some facing the park, some facing the street north of the park.

The park is heavily planted with at least 12 varieties of trees. An old beech tree near the center of the park has many initials carved into its bark. A sidewalk follows Route 6 through the park; it is partially blacktop and partially concrete and in very poor condition.

A sign facing Route 6 informs patrons that the park is closed sunrise to sunset. Other temporary signs near the western point of the green advertise village events and fund drives. Also near this western point is a landscaped area with two war memorials. It consists of a semi-circular granite-surfaced terrace upon which are mounted two granite blocks with bronze plaques and a flagpole. The text on the larger block honors veterans of World War One, World War Two, and Korea. The smaller monument honors veterans of Vietnam. Various shrubs, dogwood trees and conifers form a backdrop for the memorials. Three benches face the memorials. Another monument further north also honors veterans of World War Two.

In the area east of the lane on the rise is a Civil War cannon with a pyramid of cannon balls near its mouth. On both sides of the cannon, plaques are mounted dedicating the cannon as a memorial to Terryville veteran Dorence Atwater "for his patriotism in preserving to this nation the names of 13,000 soldiers dead while a prisoner at Andersonville, Georgia.

The park is well-maintained but suffers in its surroundings along Route 6 and North Main Street. Alterations to the earlier buildings along Route 6 are generally unsympathetic and the busy commercial area generates a lot of traffic that is not inviting to the pedestrian.
