    Lake Saltonstall

    Lake Saltonstall

    Lake Saltonstall is one of the recreational areas available year round with a permit through the…read moreRegional Water Authority. Permits are about $25 per year and include parking pass codes, maps, and a quarterly event update. Be sure to bring a camera--there is also a photo contest every year. Lake Saltonstall is quite beautiful. There are two parking lots. The one at 400 Hosley Ave is mainly situated for hikers. The one farther down the street is for people who want to fish in small boats. I entered the gated lot for hikers. There are a series of interconnected trails (white triangle for parking, white rectangle for general movement towards the lake, and then you have your choice of the dead ended red trail that is approximately 3 miles with scenic overlooks, or the green circle trail approximately 4 miles, that wraps itself around the opposite side of the lake. The green circle trail will loop around the lake and to the other side (according to the map). My hiking partner and I went down most of the green trail that surrounds the lake, but then the trail turned into a shaded bugfest (or bug feast, whichever side you're thinking of). We quickly turned around and headed back towards the area we had previously trod upon. The debris and heavy limbs post-Irene have definitely been cleared away, but the water is still somewhat high at points. Bring plenty of bug spray for the woodsy areas.

    As stated before, you need to purchase a New Haven Regional Water Authority recreation permit for…read moreaccess to this area. It is patrolled by their police officers so you need to have your pass with you. The property is gated with a combination lock which you receive the code to when you get your pass. It costs $25 for an individual yearly permit or $35 for a family permit. Your permit will also get you access to 8 other properties the RWA owns. Lake Saltonstall is stocked annually by the state with trout and the RWA also has been stocking walleye for a number of years in the lake, too. There are also crappie, carp, perch, bluegills, and largemouth bass to be caught. If you want to fish here, you will also need at CT Fishing License if you are 16 years old or older. There is no swimming allowed and no dogs are allowed. Boats are available to rent for fishing since you cannot bring your own boat. They are trying to keep out Zebra Mussels. There are miles of maintained hiking trails where you often see some great wildlife. You are allowed to mountain bike and snowshoe here, too.

The kids facilities look great but that's not what I use or know about. The pool is clean (only 25ft, the usual), not crowded most of the day (and if crowded the lifeguards are great at arranging the circle swim for those of us unlikely to wait ). Most times only 1 or 2 in each lane. We re spoiled. Great steam bath. Hot tub can be hotter, pool can be cooler , and sauna just hot. But après workout great to use. Great tools in gym ... hour long treadmills with uphill and down hill! Stair master! Assisted pull up for us weaklings. I see all sorts of classes /parties/ straps cycling/ yoga/ weight watchers .... seems like quite the hub Of community activity. Even the Founders Hall is next door for us geezers. Good parking (why do we look for close spots when we are here to workout?). Best part is nice folks and you can get in and out quick and safe OR be social. GREAT price for resident$ !

    Whether for birthday parties, camp or just the playground we are here quite often and my kiddo…read moreloves it. The playground is never too crowded and though it's part of the rec center there is no membership needed. For those that are members or want to do a day pass they also have an indoor pool and splash pad play area. The splash pad is fun but the individuals they choose to monitor it really deter from the whole experience. The other weekend we were there and my daughter and two friends were playing Barbie's and decided to wet their hair. No throwing them or anything wild just wet their hair. A woman first approached one of the girls (a 5 year old) and sternly told her that was not allowed. Which in and of itself was not acceptable. Kids being kids they went again to wet Barbie's hair and along came the same woman, only this time she confronted the mom. The mom said she'd stop it and asked the woman if in the future she would not address issue directly with her child rather come directly to her. She pointed out the tone of the woman voice used ti speak to children to which the woman stood there and begun confronting the mom. Stating repeatedly this is my voice and I'm not shouting. We all stayed calm and simply asked her to walk away. She repeated herself a few more times before walking back to her chair. All that being said, apart from the overwatch at the splash pad it is a fun place to take the kiddos.

    Constance Baker Motley Recreation Center - Fitness room -- not quite as bright as this, but you get the idea.

Do I join an expensive gym in Manhattan which would be under-utilized since I come-and-go? I was excited to discover the city-run Constance Baker Motley Rec Center on East 54th Street. They've got a fitness center, gym, track, pool and -- hold onto your hat! -- my annual membership (since I'm a senior citizen) is $25!!! Can you believe it?! Even if you're not old it'll only cost $150 per year. In Manhattan! I've read complaints that seem to permeate the facility. But for my needs -- and I really just joined -- it's great. The fitness room is somewhat antiquated, but has enough of what I want and so far (knock wood) everything works. There's a decent locker room, the staff is polite and the building itself, which dates to 1911, is pretty cool. Curious about the name, I learned that Ms. Motley was an American civil rights lawyer and the first African American woman appointed to the federal judiciary. (I love that the city pays homage to her.)

Wear a sweater as well. Sent a note on the portal to the commissioner...true to fashion has not responded back. I paid for a membership that I am not able to use since they seem to refuse to get the heat fixed. Staff has communicated the building has no heat...falls on deaf ears. SHAME ON THEM.
