Bodie's Place Playground is an inclusive, boundless playground that opened at Eisenhower Park in…read moreMilford, Connecticut in May 2011. The 16,000-square-foot playground was made possible by a $400,000 fundraising campaign. The playground is named for John "Bodie" Vaccino", a local Milford boy who was born with cerebral palsy. When he was younger, his parents took him to a boundless playground called Hannah's Dream in New Haven. Bodie was able to play with his sister, Emma, as if he had no limitations. His parents then set a project in motion to bring a similar playground to their hometown of Milford. They didn't want a playground just for children with disabilities, but rather a community play mecca for kids of all abilities. The playground was designed by John Hollerbach, owner of Creative Recreation, who has worked on other projects associated with the nonprofit Boundless Playgrounds. An adjoining splash pad opened in July 2018. My family and I recently visited Bodie's Place Playground while we were on our summer break from school. My wife and I are always looking for good playgrounds for our sons, and we heard lots of great things about Bodie's Place. The playground actually features 2 large playscapes: one intended for younger children (ages 2-5) and another intended for older children (ages 5-12). We thought that both playscapes were equally impressive. After our sons played on them for a while, they changed into their swimsuits and headed on over to the equally impressive splashed. Both of our sons had a blast! I must also note that there are plenty of amenities at the park, including bathrooms, pavilions, picnic tables and benches available at the park. We highly recommend Bodie's Place Playground to families with small children and look forward to returning!

It was very quiet (only a few cars) there when I visited on a Friday, mid-morning. Lots of parking spaces but non-Norwalk residents must pay the $6 parking fee to park at all time. Parking can be paid using the ParkMobile app. Might be more worth it for locals who come regularly to jog/walk...but I can't say the $6 fee is worth it for visitors unless they have other interested there...i.e. attending a game.

We parked and was able to have a nice view of the water and boats which were docked. The park had just a few tables but it didn't matter since we were dining in our car. We then followed with a short walk through the park. The pathway near the water was a bit rocky and bumpy but there was a paved pathway as well. Overall it was a nice place to be able to sit and have lunch while enjoying the scenery as you walk through the park the have several interesting sculptures.

Compo Beach is located in Westport, Connecticut…read more I was invited to this beach for their annual Fourth of July celebration, which consisted of an awesome fireworks display. The beach is nice and clean. They have a concession building that serves many desirable beach day food options, like hot dogs, burgers, chicken fingers, ice cream, etc. It's nice to have a place to eat without having to leave the beach. Nice plus for me. There are indoor bathrooms that are very clean which is also a nice plus. They have volleyball nets, a playground, places where you can grill out and more. Great for the whole family. This beach is located in a nice suburban neighborhood so the surrounding area is nice as well. I really enjoyed myself and hope to be back one day.

I have gone to this facility for many basketball games and tournaments over the years. There is not…read morenearly enough parking to accommodate the many games, practices, parties and events that they hold each weekend. As a result, it is extremely unsafe. Many people have to park on the far away road and then walk up the long driveway where there is no sidewalk or path. I have had to walk that long driveway in the snow and in the dark. I'm surprised no pedestrians have been hit or injured yet! There is also a spot at the end of the building's sidewalk that has been covered in ice all winter long. I don't understand why the town zoning allows them to host tournaments and other events without adequate parking.

I like a place that looks worn, like it's been through some abuse, you know the type of place where people actually pick up weight lift them and then put them down, not always gently. That's the type of place that the war Memorial is, every time I step in here I see everybody working out and taking their work out seriously. I have been to other gyms in the area but I cannot say the same, sometimes they feel more like a social club then the gym. If you want to serious results, and you want to be around people who are motivated and motivate you, then this is the place to go. The pricing is incredible, it is $19 a month with absolutely no commitment and no annual fees which is by far one of the best in the area. Not only do they have a weightlifting area but they also have a basketball court which is great if you love to play ball, a sauna in the locker rooms tops it off. Overall this is by far my favorite gym in the area because like I said I like a gym that looks rough and tough just like the work out I'm about to give it.I highly recommend this place!

I also enjoy the track that circles the complex. I have seen as many as 8 species of birds. This would be a 5 star revue except for the people who toss trash all over. There are plenty of trash bins but the parking lot and basketball courts have too much trash. Another issue that might only upset me is some people let their dogs use the facility without having them on leashes. And in October of 2014, some idiot let their dog use 2 basketball courts as a toilet. Great facility, poorly behaved citizens.
