The Broad Street Green is a long, narrow, rectangular park-like green space in the middle of Windsor's commercial and civic center. Broad Street, four lanes wide, marks the western boundary and Maple Avenue crosses the green near the middle. Shade trees are randomly planted throughout. Brick and concrete are used for paths along Broad Street and across the green. There are formal designed areas with plantings and a flagpole on either side of the walkway in front of the Town Hall. Electric lanterns on black metal standards provide light for the walk south of Maple Avenue.

Three monuments are on the green. Near the library is a war memorial (1920) dedicated to those who fought in all the American wars. It was designed by Evelyn Batchelder, who also designed the settlers' monument on the Palisado Green. The Loomis Fountain (c. 1880) is in front of Town Hall, commissioned by Euphemia Anderson Loomis in memory of her husband, a founder of the Loomis Institute. The Col. James Loomis home faces the green, and is now used by Fleet Bank.

On the east side of the green is busy Broad Street, the main commercial street of Windsor Center. On the east side are public and private buildings with a variety of uses. The Town Hall stands at the center of the Green on the east side. The library is on the south side. The rest of the buildings include several small commercial establishments, three residences, and the Episcopal Church (1865). There is still a railroad stop just east of the green.
