    Veterans pool is a great place to cool off, especially when the pool is sectioned off into 4 areas…read more During a heatwave, ONLY residents can attend so there is more space. YES, there are a lot of rules and for a good reason!! If you don't want to come here to only swim or play Marco Polo, go somewhere else. (You can't roughhouse, do flips, splash, give "piggy back rides" ", partake in any game the involves breath work, etc.). Many people were told by the lifeguards where were rules on what was acceptable in the pool, which has yet to be found on the website. There are bathrooms, changing areas, showers, and a free splash pad outside the pool area. There is a designated food and eating area, but l've notice people "claim" the tables, even when not eating at them. Very inconsiderate for others who want to sit in the shade or eat. ****And note to patrons; PLEASE STOP SPRAYING YOUR SUN BLOCK NEAR THE FOOD TABLES. Sprayed food doesn't taste good

    As a Middletown resident, I'm always looking for fun, family-friendly activities to enjoy with my…read morechildren. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this pool to families with kids. The splash pad is great, and the pool itself is beautiful, but the environment doesn't feel welcoming to children. There are so many restrictions--no running, no splashing, no touching, no diving, no jumping--that it feels like kids aren't allowed to simply enjoy being in the water. Expecting children not to splash while swimming is unrealistic and takes away from the experience. What made our visit even more disappointing was the attitude of some of the staff. The female lifeguards were unpleasant and came across as rude throughout our visit, while the male lifeguards were polite and respectful. My 14-year-old daughter even felt uncomfortable because one of the female lifeguards repeatedly gave her dirty looks, despite her not causing any problems. Families should be able to enjoy a public pool without feeling like they're constantly being watched or made uncomfortable. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and works on creating a more welcoming atmosphere for children and families.

    Tunxis Mead - Thomas Quirk Park is large community outdoor sports facility. Soccer, tennis,…read morebaseball, softball, lacrosse, play scape, even a groovy skate park, and wooded trails along the Farmington River. The fields are kept neat and clean by the Farmington Parks and Recreation Department and generally only used for scheduled sporting events. The trails are my favorite through the 4 seasons. Quiet trails with our pup and the occasional chance of other friendly pups. Please keep the trails clean if your pup needs to drop a Number 2, trash cans are available near the athletic fields. Get out and enjoy all the great outdoor space has to offer.

Didn't see any markers or entrance signs there, besides one sign that was vandalized by spray paint, making whatever information was on it, illegible. The path was enveloped by falling and fallen leaves, so there was a blanket of yellows, golds, and browns everywhere. And it's a very low impact path- pretty much flat with a very small number of rocks and tree limbs to trip you up. On the path we saw a very cool site where it skirts a farm property -two small baling tractors tidying up the overgrown hayfield and making neat cylindrical bales of hay. Eventually, the path takes you to the Farmington River and if you follow the path and keep the river to your right you'll be rewarded with some very pretty scenery. Stay on the path and get to the very impressive Farmington High School Boathouse and boat launch. Toss in a few wood bridges, skeletal remains of old buildings, and a concrete staircase to nowhere, and you'll enjoy your visit as much as we did. Our walk to the boathouse and back ran around 6,000 steps.
