The home run derby with the boys' names up on the big screens was a huge hit, and the kids stayed engaged with one of the owners and the girl helping run the activities. Diana was also great, she even offered to go and wait with the McDonald's order I placed, we chose that instead of Giacomo's pizza and the boys LOVED it! She was very sweet and thoughtful. My only friendly suggestion would be to include drinks like water or Gatorade in the package, since the kids are so active. Overall, it was an amazing party, and we'd definitely celebrate here again. Highly recommend EPC Sports for any baseball-loving kids!

We love that when we come to Force, the space feels 100% like OUR SPACE for the duration of our rental. This is especially important to our group because we have faced significant issues (such as resistance to accommodation, spotty communication) from other athletic organizations. Force has been quite the opposite - Danny has gone so far as to connect us with other local businesses, allowed us to host our first ever tournament fundraiser, and introduce us to relevant press outlets. There are so few indoor soccer spaces in New York, and we feel quite blessed to have had Force to call a home for our first indoor season in South Brooklyn.

Exhausted after my workout!

Designed for probably no more than 18-20 people, at first glance it looks like a big hot tub or trampoline in the River. In some ways it's a bit of both. You'll find it by meandering your way past the parking lot, beyond the sand volleyball courts, and past the basketball court to the aluminum ramp at the north edge of the park overlooking the bridge. Thankfully, the aluminum ramp means you don't need to climb sharp rocks or weed through lillypads to get into the water, instead you just walk right into the little rainbow colored plastic pool ring and land on a nylon netting that prevents you from walking on river mud. On a hot August day, it's a refreshing way to cool off and enjoy the park. You'd think that would make it busy, but in the prime afternoon heat on a Saturday, there were only 6 people in the pool, with a couple parents on the sidelines. Just in case you need a bit of privacy before getting in the pool, there are porta potties and even a curtained changing area. So many conveniences, and all without park fees. A gem for families in Beacon and for visitors who want to expand their stay beyond Dia and Main St. Bonus tip: go on Sunday and make a picnic from vendors at the local farmer's market on the river dock.

Inceptioned in 2012, the playground was named after Julie Keating. Young Julie was afflicted with both physical and cognitive disabilities and was often unable to join in on the fun at her local park. She tragically passed away in 2007 at the age of 15. Her younger sister Natalie later wrote a letter to the East Fishkill recreation committee asking them to build a handicapped-accessible playground. The town accepted the proposal. Phase I of the playground opened in 2016 and Phase II was completed in 2018. Julie's Jungle was the first fully accessible playground built in Dutchess County. It was built for children of all abilities to play and learn together. It's equipped with accessible routes and paths throughout, ramps, spacious decks, short stair heights, Braille play panels, and even a sensory garden. Whenever my family and I are passing through the area, we always make a point to stop at Julie's Jungle. Both of my sons love playing here. They have so much fun that our visits seem to end in the blink of an eye. We wish that more playgrounds were like this. FUN FACT: For those parents like me who enjoy good craft beer and wood-fired pizza, Sloop Brewing Company is just a three-minute drive away!
