Grass Island is a tidal marsh area in Greenwich Harbor, Connecticut. Part of the area is occupied by a boat marina and sewage plant.  Grass Island has a variety of uses. The Eastern portion remains in usage as a sewage treatment plant by the Town. A private Boat Club maintains a clubhouse, parking lot, boat storage and dock space in the southern section of the Island. Also, the Town has a boat yard and docks in the southwestern portion. The remainder is a managed conservation area.
