"Little bitty pretty one Come on and talk to me"…read more(The Jackson 5) This itty bitty downtown park does have some pretty features. I loved the chess tables and the super bright reds and yellows of chairs, benches and tables scattered throughout this miniscule one-half acre patch of downtown greenery. I saw two prominent works of art in the form of park statues today. Gossip is a 2004 bronze statue of two women, chatting over a short wall. This is the one I saw first and it really grabbed my attention. Mommy's Shoes is a 1990 bronze statue of a young girl sitting on a park bench, looking in a hand held mirror, and trying on shoes that are obviously too big for her. I loved the splashes of red in her shoes, blouse, and hat band that really popped against the dark bronze of the rest of the statue. The park was fairly empty this afternoon -I saw one woman sitting on a bench deeply involved in a phone conversation. And two Evangelical types hanging out on a second bench. They gave me a polite "hello" and thankfully didn't do any preaching. The park was neat and clean and very nice.

Just enough to check out Marilyn and some of the other sculptures in the area. Marilyn is huge. I barely stood up past her ankle. There did seem to be quite a few shady characters loitering around. But I've come to expect that in Stamford. This isn't a park I'd come to spend time in. But who doesn't love a giant Marilyn.

These trails, nestled right in the Riverdale neighborhood, are an absolute gem and a perfect, easy…read moreescape from the city hustle and bustle! They offer spectacular views of the Hudson River, often feeling like you are literally touching it, while gazing across at the dramatic cliffs of the New Jersey Palisades, which absolutely adds to the view. It's especially beautiful in the fall for the foliage--the trees burst with color, creating a vibrant backdrop to the river gorge. The trails themselves are easy, quick, and simple, with minimal elevation gain (no limited hills), making them accessible for just about anyone. You can enjoy a relaxing walk or seek out a more "ruggedness when needed" feel in certain sections. I constantly see people enjoying them: biking, walking, and even taking conference calls while soaking up the view! Important Dog Owner Warning These are great trails for walking your dogs. I often see dogs enjoying being off-leash here, but if you choose to do so, please be hyper-aware! The trail runs right alongside the Metro-North Hudson Line tracks (the stretch between the Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil stops), and the fence isn't aligning the whole way. A distracted dog chasing a rabbit or squirrel can easily run right onto the active tracks. Keep a tight watch or use a long lead--it's not worth the risk, even if your dog is well-behaved. Overall, a highly recommended spot for a scenic, simple, and convenient outdoor experience!

If you attempt to venture down to waters edge you will encounter empty beer cans, tons of broken glass and condom wrappers. (Why is Stamford such a pit?)

Looking at Kosciuszko Park, I saw that there was no fee, only fees for using the common area/Gazebo. We got there at about 5PM on a Friday afternoon. As noted on the website, there is no fee to enter the park. There is a large parking lot there and the only people that were in the park were a few runners and a few local older groups who seem to be regulars. The walking trails are gravel and dirt with lots of goose poop in the grass, so you can kiss those fresh all white sneakers goodbye if you are not careful. The park is a nice free option to get some good views while taking a walk. I do plan on returning on the nicer days to the visit the other fee-based parks, including Cove Island Park, as they seem to be a lot bigger and offer more to do.

My family and I came here for the Fall Food Truck Festival and it was way more packed than I would have imagined. I really wanted to get here before it started so that we could get some choice eats before the crowds began to pile up but unfortunately, we arrived about 90 minutes after it began and the lines were already about an hour wait. IMO they had far too few trucks in attendance. When I last checked, over 20K people were interested in attending, via social media sites. My whole reason for coming was for the Cousins Maine Lobster food truck which was a little over an hour wait. Unfortunately, the food wasn't worth the trouble. I had their CT roll which was awesome. Hubby had their shrimp tacos and I tasted; they were good but on the sweet side. I also got their lobster tots which were ok and we both affef soups to our entrées. I got the lobster bisque which was way too sweet and I stole hubby's NE clam chowder which tasted good. I also brought home a whoopie pie and a couple of ginger ales. Whime I waited for my lobster fix, hubby waited on a 45-minute line for the Melt Mobile food truck. He got me a meatball melt which was great! He got himself the short rib melt which was even better. We also shared their cheesecake melt (cheesecake sandwiched between two slices of pound cake and grilled) which was divine! All in all, it was a great event and tons of people came out with their kids and their fur babies. They had live music and some kiddie attractions for entertainment. There was a bit of a walk from parking if you didn't get there early and the lines were seriously out of control but the Cousins food trucks (there were two) were very efficient in the way they organized their line (still over an hour wait). The Five Alarm Pizza Company, a goth-painted fire truck with a full equipped pizza oven built in it, even ran out of pizzas only 2 hours into the event. Next year, we're coming early and bringing chairs even though we were able to snag an empty bench at the kiddie playground.
