We buy all of our kids' lacrosse equipment at Sartorius now, and they've never steered us wrong. Our older daughter was ready for an advanced/high level stick and we appreciated so much that she could try many different options right there in the store and get feedback from staff members who actually know the sport and could guide her towards the best options for the position she plays. Our younger daughter's goalie helmet had a hardware issue about 6 months after we bought it and I brought it to Sartorius expecting to need to pay $40 for a new throat guard - not so, Chris had the right hardware and fixed it for us in minutes. Their stringing services are also fairly-priced and quick.

My custom orthotics combined with super high arches and asymmetrical feet make it a challenge to…read morefind footwear that fits. Chris and Paul guided me to not one, but two pairs of shoes (Hoka and Saucony) that fit great. My orthotics squeaked a bit in the shoes, but Chris had a brilliant solution that involved cutting a layer of thin material to insert in the shoes. Takes time and skill, but he did it for all four shoes while I waited. Now I can sneak up on people without the squeaking giving me away... Happy and grateful (and stealthy) customer.

"Down by the old mill stream Where I first met you"…read more(The Mills Brothers) Mills Pond Park is an embarrassment of riches, both natural and man-made. There's a trail that takes you down to a pretty pond, waterfall, and wetlands. There's a recreational bonanza of options, with an Olympic sized pool, tennis courts, two baseball fields, basketball courts, a football field, a park, a softball field, a skate park, two pavilions, a soccer field, wading pool, and playgrounds. There's even a large public art display at the park's entrance which I've reviewed separately. https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-canton-gate-canton?hrid=_woQOmg74ws2Myhd1Zb0mA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) One thing ruined our perfect visitor experience. As we were walking around the ballfields, we saw a guy in a gray hoodie and gray pants with his black lab running around freely. They were hundreds of feet apart and he was yelling at the dog to come over. But the dog didn't because he or she was busy squatting and taking a dump on the ballfield where kids play. Did Mr. gray hoodie clean up after Fido? Nope, he just ignored that steaming pile of dog doo, leashed up his dog when it finally sprinted over, and calmly walked away along East Hill Road. The selfish, careless, inconsiderate arrogance was incredible to witness. So, if you're playing out there on the fields, watch where you step.

There is a pavilion with a few picnic tables; you can contact Canton recreation to reserve them for a party. The parking lot has plenty of spaces. There's no trail, just a small paved portion behind the skatepark. I saw plenty of people walking around the park and around the field. My kids really enjoyed playing in the playground. There's a double swing you can put your small child in and you can sit on the swing as well; that was a first for me. A gem and I'm lucky to live close by and be able to use this establishment.

My daughter has been attending Jonis since she was six months. I have had nothing but a wonderful…read moreexperience there. she is now 2 1/2 years old and has made amazing memories there. I want to start with the director, Jessica. Truly professional, personable, approachable very friendly, really knows how to work with parents and takes her position seriously. I am able to communicate with her and know that she listens even with my crazy mother complaints -she is always very attentive and addresses the concerns right away. The assistant director Fauzia, is also wonderful. She's always so friendly knows my kids very well communicates well and is always happy to help! All the teachers truly love their job from what I see and hear from other parents. the infant teacher Mrs. Gail had my daughter and now has my six month old baby boy and I don't ever ever doubt that hes in good hands as she is Incredible. She is very great at communicating through the app. She always ask questions is great at working with your child and communicating suggestions or any concerns that she may have. Shes super motherly. Ms Lillian and Ms Nicole have my daughter and they are AMAZING. What's important to me is having enthusiasm patience and professionalism when dealing with a two-year-old and I never feel uncomfortable or concerned with how they teach my daughter or how to take care of my daughter. I know that's what any parent would want to hear as you read this! Ms Brookanne has my baby boy occasionally and I love how well she communicates with me and treats both my babies. Thank you! Lastly, before this pandemic the daycare has always been very clean they've always been on top of keeping the appearance appropriate sanitary and even with dirty diapers it always manages to smell good. They have made the daycare look very homey and cozy and I never had concerns with how it presented. I HIGHLY recommend Jonis in Farmington

Foote Road Recreation Complex is located in a very quiet and peaceful area, in Burlington, CT…read more There were two parking lots, one was paved and the other was on gravel. There is a small beach with a pond; it is fenced in and opens seasonally. There is a picnic pavilion with a few picnic tables and a fireplace. Behind the pavilion is a basketball court. The playground is on sand and has a few swings, a slide, a playscape, a ball pit, and a bench. There is also a soccer field and little league baseball field. I did see a porta potty available. The place was so quiet, I heard water flowing. After further investigations, I noticed there is a brook behind the playground. I think this is a nice recreation complex and it was a peaceful spot to relax and let the kids release some energy. If you have young toddlers, I would keep an eagle eye on them because of the brook nearby. If you drive further up Foote Rd., the Burlington Falls is located there.

Parking was plentiful on gravel; there was even a Little Free Library in there. I came here for the playground area but there were only swings, the play area was very limited. However, if you play sports, this is the place to be. The fields looked maintained and clean. A great spots for the locals to exercise and play. They do host their summer concerts there with food trucks, music, and dancing. As for myself returning for leisure, probably not since there are nicer parks and playgrounds closer to me.
