    My wife was part of a group that rented out a pavilion in this park recently. Of note, the parking…read moresituation is a bit unusual so follow the signs (which take precedence over common sense). There were two pavilions in the area and we had the one on the right, but the one on the left was being used by two different groups of people celebrating two different events. I don't know if either or both rented it, or if both showed up at the same time, but it looked like an awkward situation. The pavilion we rented had at least one electrical outlet good for a crock pot or stereo, but don't think there were many more. Next to it was a small barbecue grill that was about 18x24". It was big enough for a family gathering, but it couldn't possibly hold enough food for a crowded pavilion unless they were all eating hot dogs. We tried, and only got about 16 burgers on it at a time. A large garbage can with a bag liner was inside at the corner, but we were told that it was NOT for use by people who rent the pavilion (rental is carry in-carry out) but instead was for use by those who don't rent the pavilion. That must be a mistake as nobody would have such a stupid policy. Nearby was a nice kids playground, and all around us and mixed through the trees was a disc golf course. I should have brought my old Frisbee from college. I was told a creek also ran in the area. Bathrooms were within sight but I never ventured near them. All told, a decent place to rent.

However, you can park your car upfront and take a long walk. Zin Smith trail passes through this park allowing hiking, bicycling, rollerblading, horseback riding, and snowmobiling. In the park there are remains of a mill that pressed flax seed oil.

    Located in the town of Wilton. Came here for a Lax weekend tournament. This place is large and…read moreperfect for so many kids playing multiple games. Over 10 fields were set up to accommodate the tournament. Parking was very close to all the fields and no issues for anyone to get a spot. Fields are well taken care of. Unfortunately the bathrooms are very limited and not well stocked or cleaned. The splash park was scheduled to be open on the Saturday of the tournament (according to their website) it was not. Lots of other recreational activities to do here. Basketball courts Pickle ball Playground Tennis courts Walking path/track Great place for a tournament, just need more bathrooms.

    Gavin Park is, as its website says, a recreation park for the town of Wilton. It has a large number…read moreof both outdoor and indoor recreational facilities, including something you don't see often enough, pickleball courts. There are numerous programs for children and adults plus spaces that can be reserved for events. It should be noted as per their site that there are some strict rules, including no pets. This year, the main building in the park was also one of the 3 sites used by Saratoga County for early voting, and turnout was heavy. A website I browsed earlier stated that Gavin Park was a destination for holiday lights and decorations... not so much this year. They did have some nice lights set up in front of the main building, but not enough to be considered high on the "ooh, aah" list (if you want to see those kind of lights, head into Saratoga and tour Greenfield Avenue). But their website also said that this year, their activities are significantly curtailed, and the tree-lighting ceremony was canceled. Hopefully things will be in full swing again in 2021.
