The volunteer association does a beautiful job maintaining the trails and offering guided hikes at different times of the year or events that are free to the community. The top of the "rock" has phenomenal views of North Haven but is a bit tricky to navigate for about 20 feet. There is even a resident cactus growing at the top on a Rocky outcropping. There are remnants of Peter's Hermitage on the hike down which requires some shimmying. The trails are marked well and there is a map, parking, and a covered picnic area at the park.

I have had the great opportunity to meet some very nice, wonderful kids, as well as, some amazing tutors and hardworking NHR people. Some of the kids I have worked with have ranged from 3rd grade to 7th. We do various reading/literacy activities via workbooks, computer games, and of course in the books they choose to read. Some times they bring school work and they always bring great stories about their day or what they did over the weekend. There are always apples or tangerines, and string cheese available as healthy snacks for the kids. There is also an amazing amount of books there FOR FREE!! I get so nostalgic when I walk in there because I see all of my favorites from childhood lining the shelves: Nancy Drew, The Phantom Tollbooth, My Side of the Mountain, A Wrinkle in Time. The staff makes it so easy to jump in and tutor. They are very understanding, supportive, welcoming, and just phenomenal with all of the kids. They know them all so well. I find that overwhelmingly impressive because there are so many of them! Volunteer, donate, visit, or peruse here. It is a wonderful program and place here in New Haven.

You need your energy to dig through the bins. This location is pretty big with plenty of space. I like that they're constantly rotating bins through the day, so you're not left with the least favorable items mid day. It feels very organized here which is good for the amount of people that shop here. Another plus: pay the pound. We got loads of stuff for only $25!
