Pickleball Courts Review Only:…read more Staff was great, very knowledgeable and very helpful and also innovative in offering a pickleball seasonal membership, But Court Booking - Time Consuming: You have to call in to check on court availability every time; There is no app or website to book online Or even see what times or courts are available And Court Availability: From what we understood - not easy to get pickleball court reservation on the weekends. As noted earlier, staff was super helpful but Until the club owners upgrade their pickleball booking process - this is not an option for us at this time

During my private lesson I felt like certain critiques to make a few tweaks helped make long term improvements. The Advanced 2 hr Sunday Clinic is one of the best I've been to. I don't live in the area anymore but when I'm visiting my folks for the weekend I try to come by Sunday mornings. The drills and games are great if you're trying to improve your game. All other players were friendly and leveled into groups properly.

We saw a few baseball fields, tennis courts, a dog park, lots of pretty flowers, a very nice swimming area, and took a nice leisurely stroll on a flat wide newly cut grass walking path. We didn't see a lot of people out there today, but we did see a whole bunch of butterflies, birds and a bunny rabbit perched ahead of us on the path. He skedaddled when we got close. We also heard the public address announcer for a little league game across the lake, and he was a hoot as he did his best Michael Buffer imitations as each new batter came up to bat.

The Park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (April 26, 1822 - August 28, 1903) who was an American landscape architect, journalist, social critic, and public administrator. He is popularly considered to be the father of American landscape architecture. Olmsted was famous for co-designing many well-known urban parks with his senior partner Calvert Vaux. There are multiple entrances into the park where you will find tennis courts, basketball courts and a softball diamond. There are two trails, an Olympic sized pool and picnic areas. The playscape and spray pad are pretty cool though there was some litter. The separate golf course https://www.yelp.com/biz/goodwin-park-golf-course-hartford-3 is over 6000 yards. Limited parking and no fences at the street edges or around the playground. Trash cans were overfull today. [Review 15181 overall, 683 of 2021, number 33 in Connecticut.]

If you like being outdoors, this is the perfect spot to enjoy it. There are two parking lots. I parked by the playground and splash pad. There was a porta potty there. The playground had swings, a sandbox, and a playscape. There is a large pond and a short boardwalk that goes through a nature preserve. There is a short paved trail in the middle of the park. There were many picnic tables and benches throughout. I'm betting this is a great spot to go sledding during the winter since there are many hills there. Overall, a nice park and my family and I enjoyed it

What an unexpected treat! Wolcott Park sure exceeded my expectations…read more In the shadows of the Westfarms Mall and pretty much right next to the busy Corbins Corner shopping center, there it is. We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves today. We walked the park's paths that meander through its 28 acres and connect so many great entertainment and athletic options. We saw an amphitheater, six clay tennis courts, a lighted little league field, a soccer field, a Children's Forest, a huge playground, pickleball courts, a splash pad, a nice pond, hiking trails, pretty scenery, and a long boardwalk over wetlands. That's a ton of things for your enjoyment. I really didn't expect this park to be as awesome as it was, but I was thrilled to have underestimated it.

Energy Zone, located in Cromwell, CT, is the best thing that ever happened to me. I've always been…read morea gym rat- since 1992. However, after a serious back injury in 2011, my life that was once filled with fitness and wellness came to a screeching halt. I wasn't permitted to exercise for a while, but that "while" turned into days, weeks, months, as I gained a large amount of weight. In 2017, I decided that a change needed to take place, and I needed to shape up my life. I looked and sampled many gyms in my area; NEAC, The Cage, Rocky Hill Fitness and tennis, Rebel Fitness, WOW, and LA Fitness. You'd think that one of them would be able to address my needs, but they didn't. Most had "factory-like" atmospheres where people by the hundreds biked, ran on treadmills, and mindlessly peddled away on ellipticals. The classes weren't much better. Some were intimidating with anorexic-like instructors who yelled and taught at their own fitness levels with no modifications or cues. I tried several different classes at many places, but not once felt that I fit in. Then- it finally happened. I walked through the doors of Energy Zone Fitness in Cromwell, located at a small strip mall on Shunpike Road. It looked like most gyms from the outside, but after I entered this place, I immediately felt at ease. Friendly, smiling faces greeted me instead of a dud sitting at a desk playing with his / her phone. I was given a tour and then watched a group fitness class that used trampolines. I peered closer to observe 20+ people, all shapes, all sizes, some young, some old, women and men, etc. I was in awe of the clear modifications the instructor directed them with and watched for several minutes. Behind me, a small group of people were working with a trainer, who had them participate in a series of circuits, which contained cardio, resistance, and weighted exercises for every body part. I continued to view them jumprope, lift weights, use machinery, and work in pairs for some other exercises. It was then that I knew I found my new fitness home. I've been going for over a year, participating in all group fitness and circuit classes and love every minute. I've lost weight, and more importantly- am feeling stronger than ever. If you're serious about starting a fitness regime, I can't recommend this gym enough. So, start your journey today- not tomorrow. They're waiting for you and you won't be sorry... It's Cromwell's best kept secret- and once you're "in on the secret", you'll never look back.

If you are ever stuck at the DMV for a few hours, visit this place to unwind. ;) I happened to be the only visitor at the moment, so I got to chat for a while with the woman working there. She introduced me to all the birds (Merlin, Thomas, and Bonnie) and got to try to make them talk to me. Merlin (the gorgeous red macaw) said a couple of words in response to my cell phone's alarm. Thomas (an African Grey) wished me a good morning and then mumbled at me a bit. ;) I also was allowed to hold Bonnie and she showed me her trick of climbing from one hand to the other if you hold your fingers out like ladder rungs. There are bunnies, ferrets, lizards, turtles... I tend to turn to mush around animals anyway, so this was the best place to possibly do to clear my head this afternoon. They also host birthday parties for kids... I asked if I could come back and visit for my 34th. The woman there said there was no reason I couldn't. ;) My friends may be getting some animal-themed invitations this year! :)

There are public bathrooms at the boathouse and note that there are often events (like weddings) at the actual structure. This happens all nights of the year (or so it seems and by that I mean random weeknights is when I often stumble upon a wedding). It used to be PACKED during COVID. You will almost always find parking in the main lot but occasionally if there are kids sport games on the fields, and lots of kids on the playground, and boats being launched (boats plus trailers take up two spots)... well then you will maybe need to park in the overflow lot. I'm not sure if both of those lots are ever simultaneously full but there is a little parking garage a tiny way up the road by the Glastonbury library (if needed). It's a quick walk up to town & there are some little free libraries (and Poke-stops) nearby! Thank you :)
