Came to the Common Ground at Rotary Park in Sayville a few times in the past month to picnic and…read morelisten to live music by various bands and musicians. Parking is easy to find (I usually park in the Chase Bank/Rite Aid parking lot and walk the 5 minutes to the park), the park is clean, and there are benches all around for people to sit on if sitting on the ground/grass isn't your thing. The free concerts are on most Wednesdays in the months of July and August at 7pm. The event is called "Wednesdays in the Park" and every Wednesday there is a different type of music playing live. Bring a blanket or a foldable beach chair and enjoy a picnic in the evening at a clean park! For an ice cream fix, there are usually at least 1-2 ice cream trucks parked on either side of the park's adjoining streets (y). Be sure to check out the Peace Labyrinth at the Common Ground as well! This is the schedule for "Wednesdays in the Park" - there are 3 more concerts left in August! http://www.thecommonground.com/wednesdays-in-park.html

Meditation Labyrinth Review 1 of 3…read more The labyrinth of Common Ground/ Gillette Park is a traditional seven-ring Middle Ages/ Chartres design, and was laid out, concreted and bricked by a true craftsman. It has a nice roomy feel for subconscious and submissive navigation. I have spoken to the Celestials here on many an evening, as the park is easily accessible at night. They have reikii healing ceremonies and special events here too, sometimes at the nearby pavilion, which I imagine has some pretty cool acoustics. The path leading to the labyrinth has mosaics, benches and etched tributes. . . you can buy a stone of your own in the walk with a $60 donation. The park also features a few stone chess tables and nicely painted garbage cans painted in the style of Van Gogh, Dali, Warhol and maybe Homer (?). Very cool area and concepts, but not too private.

The park is well kept and clean. It can be quiet at times which means the kids have the place to themselves running around the playground towers and bridges. The park has ample shade with beautiful trees, picnic benches, wooden benches near the play area There are several swing sets accommodating all age groups and 3 tennis courts. The actual playground is well kept and clean, I don't see any graffiti on the play sets so I imagine kids don't hang out there. The bathhouses are clean and functional. It's a nice day at the park

After a minute of walking the trail, of which I took a photo with my iPhone, I quickly turned back. As a single female, I prefer crowded parks with plenty of people and security. I am off to another park.

Aside from reflecting the properties of a "state of being" or condition, Purgatory Creek, AKA "Corey Creek" is a very real, physical place on this earth, in a freshwater, wetland steam in Blue Point. The Town of Brookhaven established this area, just off Montauk Highway, as a manifestation of temporal punishment for those imperfectly purified or spiritually unrepenting of their venial sins. Behold, the devil's portal, through a fireplace of stone, centered in the "three at once" trees (see pics). Aside from the passing traffic, it is a very still place, best visited at night. There are picnic tables and benches here, as well as a faux wishing well, though your earthly appetites and wants are no longer to be of importance.

I've found that sometimes those that come here for the first time, or not often, don't obey the rules of the dog park. However, after a few years of coming here we really haven't had too many issues and the other owners are generally nice and friendly as are the dogs. I know my Goji loves running around here on the small dog side (25 lbs and less) and always gets exercise. What's also really nice is that there is a handicapped accessible playground here. There aren't any swings but a lot of it is interactive, which is pretty cool. Sadly, the electronic/touch sensitive drums no longer work and the piano has never worked. I wish the town would fix this. There are two benches to watch your kiddo or if you want to sit and eat a snack and there is plenty of room to play. Especially if your child likes slides as there are 6 of them here. It's a good park for a family outing, if one person watches the kids and the other watches the dog. There are also games on the fields here so check it out if you're a local and your child is involved with sports/soccer. Lots of places to grab food nearby after playing, though probably not dog friendly so it may be best to order ahead and grab yourself some take-out before heading home. Also, not sure where the human bathroom is here - probably near the playing fields on the opposite side of playground and dog park area but I can't confirm that. Your doggie will enjoy this place for sure. Woof!
