    "Why do you have to say that there's always someone who can…read moredo it better than I can? But don't you think that I know that walking on the water won't make me a miracle man?" (Elvis Costello) There are four baseball fields in a park where Asylum Avenue and Trout Brook Drive meet in West Hartford. Three of the fields are used by the WH Little League. The fourth field is different. You might say it's a Miracle Field. This field was designed for physically and cognitively challenged players. The playing field is built with a soft rubberized surface that is fully wheelchair accessible. Instead of raised bases and a pitching mound, these features are painted into the field's flat surface. The  base paths, distance from the pitchers mount to home plate, and outfield fence distances are shorter than regular Little League fields. Other than these tweaks and accommodations, the Miracle Field looks very much like a  typical Little League field. Fundraising for the Miracle Field started in 2008, and through private, corporate, philanthropic and governmental entities, over $800,000 was raised to construct not only the field but a playground, restroom and concession facilities that were accessible to all. In 2012, the Miracle League Field opened as the first of its kind in New England. Their website says it's still the only one of its kind in Connecticut.

Drive to back of the lot where you will see a row of handicap parking spots and a small wooden bridge. The ball fields and playground are extremely well maintained with restrooms for your use. Our 2yr old had a wonderful time, love the ground covering. There are several picnic tables there are well if you want to bring a snack/meal with trash & recycling containers.

There was a great playground for children. A great little pond with Canadian geese and children feeding the geese. The disc golf course was excellent. There is a swimming pool that was obviously closed for the season and many people were just walking around in this beautiful setting. I can't wait to return.

While this isn't the best playground, I find myself here often. Located close to shopping, it's easy to stop here with my toddler when we have to run errands. On nice spring and summer days the playground and the rest of the park can get crowded. Because the basketball court and baseball fields are in such close proximity, parking can be tricky. The playground has 2 main structures, one for kids 2-5 and another for kids 5-12. There are also baby and regular swings, a spring see-saw, and some balance obstacles. My main complaint about BOTH play structures is that they are set too far off the ground. It's like the stairs are missing a step or the bottom of some of the slides are far too high off the ground. The 2-5 play structure is strange. Again, it is set too high off the ground and had steps on the interior that are too high, making them harder to navigate. It's very compact and has steep tunnels. My son rarely plays on it because it's such a strange setup. Though he isn't quite 2 yet, he is as tall (if not taller) than most 2 year olds and has no issue climbing other playscapes labeled for the same age. The 5-12 playscape is better, though it is starting to fall into slight disrepair. Some rails are getting loose, etc. It is in the "boundless" style with ramps and some things down lower to play with. This play structure is actually much easier for a toddler to navigate. There are some openings that a child under 5 could fall from but there's no need to really climb with the child. Standing close by on the ground and watching them at these openings would be sufficient. Nothing is so high that they are totally out of reach. For the older kids, there are some fun climbing obstacles and many different slides. There are always older kids at this playground, all seemingly having fun.

    Wallace Barnes Nature Trail is a 1.1 mile, fully accessible trail behind the Barnes Nature Center…read more There were plenty of parking spots when I went. It is a level boardwalk with some crushed stones throughout; people can use wheelchairs, strollers, walkers, etc. It goes through the woods so there were plenty of shade. I love that it has benches and shelters, for a quick rest. Those shelters overlooked a stream and field. There are informational signs throughout giving facts about the area. This trail also connects to 5 other trails; those trails are: Elmer's Way 0.5 mile Blue Trail 0.7 mile Yellow Trail 0.2 mile White Trail 0.3 mile Purple Trail 1.2 mile My children and I thoroughly enjoyed this very easy walking trail. We are a fan of boardwalks so it was enjoyable and pleasant. There were a few others out enjoying the trail also. I look forward to going back and checking out the other trails as well as the nature center. The nature center was closed when I went (Tuesday) but opens Thursday through Saturday 10-4 and Sunday 12-4. I highly recommend it!

Informational stops and ample spots to pull aside to rest, relax, and take-in the natural surroundings and hopefully observe some wildlife and the seasonal changes within woodland. This is all very recently constructed through thoughtful donations and hard working hands. Please respect the surroundings, leashed pups were welcome when I last visited, and all visitors (fury or not) are requested to stay on the elevated boardwalk.

    "In and around the lake" (Roundabout - Jon Anderson and…read moreSteve Howe) While walking roundabout the lake at Stanley Quarter Park I realized a few things. #1 - You can't blame a goose for being a goose. #2 - You can't blame a few hundred geese for doing what a few hundred geese leave behind, basically a lot of #2. #3 - As a result of #2, you can't blame me for docking this post for a fifth star. Pretty much across the street from the University of Central Connecticut College's campus you'll find this gorgeous park with a big lake, a multi-station fitness trail, and a nice and easy 0.6 mile looped walking path around the lake. The path took us over a few stone and wood bridges and gave us a great look at hundreds of geese and what looked like seagulls. The geese were everywhere - in the water, on the grassy hills, frolicking and flapping their wings in the lake, and honking so much they made us laugh. But the problem we encountered was the byproduct of those hundreds of geese and the ensuing mess they leave on the path around the lake. You'd better watch your step very carefully or you'll be walking into globs of goose shit. It was everywhere, and there was a shit ton of it. Now like I said, ya can't blame a goose for doing what a goose does, but I feel like someone at the municipal level has badly dropped the ball by not better maintaining things.

I saw a huge field that is used for soccer. On the lake, you can fish and use non motorized boats; a boat launch is available. This recreation area is suitable for walking, jogging, hiking, cross-country skiing, biking, canoeing, bird watching, picnicing, and camping; for camping, you need to get permission from the Town of Avon. I walked the red trail then got off that trail halfway and walked by the well pump building; this brought me back to the parking lot. That walk was about 2.54 miles because I didn't want to do the bigger loop. On the AllTrails app, there are two trails in the park; Spring Lake and Fisher Meadows Loops. The walk was easy but there were some flooded and muddy areas. I have a feeling it is buggy in the summer but on this fine sunny March day, it was very pleasant except for getting my sneakers wet. Overall, a great space to enjoy the great outdoors.
