    I attended the free 2 hr pickleball clinic in Baldwin Harbor Park, located in in The Town of…read moreHempstead. It was my first time playing, and I took to it like a duck to water. We played doubles, and my partner and I won the game against the other two players. Points are scored only when the serving team wins a rally, and I am a good server. I learned fast how to make the ball hit the court in front the blue line, which is known as the kitchen. Elvis, the head coach, was thorough in his explanation of the fundamentals of the game. We practiced our skills with our peers, getting feedback from the coach that was assigned to our court. There was a coach for each of the eight courts, and each court had four players. I learned the rules of the game and how to score. The goal is to keep the ball out of the kitchen. You can only volley outside the kitchen. The class lasted approximately two hours, and we all had fun. I will definitely be back to take more classes. Go to "Hempsteadny.gov keyword: pickleball lessons" if you are interested in learning this highly popular game. ADVISORY: Coach Elvis said that classes registered for online usually fill up within 15 minutes, and summer registration begins on 6/3/2025.

    This place is my own little sanctuary. When I say my own, I don't mean that I actually "own" it…read more. as it belongs to Mother Nature (and also the Nassau County Parks Department, ha). What I mean is that, when I'm here I am able to find peace and solitude, which is rare today. I'm currently experiencing a profound personal loss and feel my world will never be the same. My mind's been racing and my heart's been beating fast, from both being sick and from ruminating thoughts, however standing along the water's edge provides a much needed sense of tranquility. It's a feeling that inspires hope and reminds me that while sometimes our best made plans go awry and tides made change, the current of life still flows. When you can't change things, perhaps the best thing to shift is mindset. I'm still working on that one, one day at a time.. and walking along the sand here at Baldwin Harbor Park's secret beach gives me the mental space I need to keep on at it.

    A beautiful, clean park with a large pond in the center filled with ducks and geese. It is an ideal…read morespot to sit and eat your take away meal as long as the thought of throngs of water fowl marching towards you like the walking dead doesn't intimidate you. Here is a tip: We sat by the gazebo one lovely morning as all ducks and geese came towards us. We did not feed them, but soon after a gentleman that seems to be a regular (there always seem to be friendly regulars feeding the ducks) came to a nearby bench and begin tossing them some bread. We swiftly moved to the other side of the pond and enjoyed our breakfast unmolested as the gentleman feed and occupied all the ducks and geese across the pond. Of course we had a couple of stragglers that didn't go along with the crowd, but much less than the gang of 100 or so on the other side. Not a place to seek out since it is on the smallish side, but if you are in the area and looking for a peaceful spot it will do perfectly.

    Definitely not the cleanest pond as there are times where there is trash in the pond itself. I work…read morenearby so sometimes I'll stop there on a lunch break to read a book. The birds and ducks are always cute so that is one plus. There is supposed to be a walking trail, but I tried walking it a couple of times to find it quite short and not much of a trail. There is a playground as well, but I have no experience with that part of the pond. And if you sit at the benches near the parking lot, chances you'll catch second hand cigarette smoke from the old guys who sit in their cars all day most days.
