We haven't really gotten into mini golf, tennis, or the water slides yet, but maybe when they're older. We have not done swimming lessons here either but we hear great things about the swim team. I did not deduct stars for this but would like to give fair warning that the snack bar this summer was VERY slow, understaffed, and prone to errors the times that we used it. I hope it improved throughout the season but we haven't utilized it since midway through the summer. We'll try again next year!

I was in the area and was looking for a playground, happened to find this by chance. I was…read moresurprised with how big this place was. Parking was plentiful; a porta potty was spotted. There were a couple of town buildings (senior center and community room), a swimming pool, basketball court, sand volleyball court, tennis courts, a small field, and a playground. There were picnic tables throughout and a very small pavilion. The playgorund was on mulch and in good shape; there were two swings and two baby swings. This park is on 33-acres and has woods in the back; I saw quite people walking into it. It is open from dusk to dawn all year. The pool was packed since it's a hot June day. The daily fee for the pool is $7 for residents and $10 for non-resident. Overall, a fun spot to hangout!

All of the equipment was functional and we were promptly dropped off at the starting point. The trip was a great mix of calm water and a little excitement in small rapids. This late in the season, the water level was a little low and I did have to do some walking but that's river canoeing for you. Arrived at the shop, pulled up the canoe, checked out and we were back on our way. We look forward to taking a longer trip with friends next season.

We started with 30 minutes and ended up doing 1hour because we were having so much fun. Owners are awesome! It was a fun experience for sure and it was something different. Great for families and for children ( not too young tho)! Check them out! It's definitely worth it and different. I forget to mention they go through the rules, they give you eye wear, they have ice packs, just incase. Don't be alarmed or scared but they are prepared and go over everything just incase! Service was excellent. I recommend checking them Out while they are there! It's worth it to try for sure!

The Connecticut operation has locations spread across every corner of the state "to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens". Last night we attended a fundraising gala for Hartford's newest B&G Club, the beautiful South End Boys and Girls Club. It's located "in a neighborhood that needs it most" as explained by Guest Speaker Luke Bronin, Mayor of Hartford. The evening was titled "Great Futures and Open House, and the program started as soon as we stepped off the bus and were serenaded by a children's brass band. There were 300 guests in attendance and we really enjoyed touring the various rooms -one for music, one for dance, one for technology, one for art, etc. The highlight of the evening was a formal presentation hosted by ESPN's Sage Steele. Other speakers besides the Mayor were Claire Burns of Hartford Insurance (the lead sponsor), Sam Gray, CEO and President of the Boys and Girls Club of Hartford, and Ismael -Hartford's 2023 Youth of the Year. There was a massive auction of donated goods and services and food were provided by DORO Catering of West Hartford. It was a very inspirational evening and if you're looking for a good cause to support, you might want to check out the Boys and Girls Club.

What caught my eye was how they checked, re-checked, and then re-checked again everything they were doing. As a retired aircraft mechanic I certainly can appreciate that. They also have a wonderful app that makes the check in process quick, and easy at the donation centers. It also gives you a ton of information,and is a quick resource for rescheduling, or making an appointment. I was so impressed with the American Red Cross that I now donate blood regularly,have completed my training, and became a American Red Cross volunteer.
