They had frozen shad and green worms and regular night crawlers. They say they usually have minnows and other items in stock that they happen to be out of today. They had a nice selection of large treble hooks for snagging and a good selection of weights of all shapes and sizes. The pole and reel selection was good but seamed very limited. Lots of lures and other gigs ect. If I'm in the area and need bait I'll be back for sure!

Weekends are busier, but during the week the activities and numbers of people are sparse. Brighton is four miles away with a Dollar General. Washington is next with a Hy-Vee going into town and a WalMart at the other end. Also a beautiful YMCA if you want to exercise. Casey's at each end of town if you need a pizza. We love Lake Darling!

What I enjoy most is the opportunity to make photographs and videos of the wonderful wildlife found so abundantly there from Canadian Geese and woodpeckers, to fox and deer. Not to mention the frolicking squirrels. The park is well maintained, run and appreciated by all. A little sanctuary from a busy, bustling life, in the stillness, tranquility and wonderful, warmth of mother nature's embrace. Many thanks to all involved in making it possible and keeping it going. It's a priceless treasure I think we all take for granted when we should be thanking our lucky stars each and every day.

A pleasant park by the lake! This Waterworks park is named…read morefor the fact that the low end of the lake is the Fairfield Waterworks, where they're pumping the water and filtering it and probably adding fluoride and such, and pumping it to your homes. So don't go peeing in the lake, okay?! They have public restrooms set up by the side of the lake so you don't have to do that. The restrooms look like concrete bunkers, filled with crude graffiti. There's swimming in the lake, with a cordoned off area with buoys and a beach volleyball net and some picnic areas. There's some trails that go around the lake. Waterworks Park has ample parking and good signage to let you know where to park and where to go. It's a nice green park with lots of grass and trees for shade. There's plenty to see and do around here. It seems like it'd be fun to ride horses around here!

This place is more of a tennis/badminton/pickleball court facility for the community with some…read morestrength training options on the side than anything else. The tennis courts take up about half the gym & you have to walk behind an awkward curtain down a narrow path to get to the rest of the gym. There's a rock climbing wall with daily instruction (locked up when no instructor around). There are a few cardio machines & a decent weight rack. They did buy a few maces which I tend to use every time I'm there. They have a wall of Indian clubs & a tall rack of medicine balls, as well as a good spot to do TRX workouts off of a solid tower with multiple spots & heights to do pull-ups. The heavybag is pretty light & it's on a so-so stand that prevents movement around it for practicing technique & footwork. There's a small matted area for wrestling & jiu jitsu drills, but not much in the way of keeping it clean to avoid staff/MRSA/ring worm since people walk across it regularly. They have a lot of equipment behind the front desk that they'll loan out for your ID or keys. Boxing gloves, focus mitts, fencing jackets, skis, bikes, tents, tennis/badminton rackets, pickleball & ping pong paddles. My biggest gripe is that it doesn't seem to cater to the students at MUM, but to the senior citizens of the community or teachers. The locker room is small with 2 showers & is hotter & more humid than Hades in the summer months.

Not even the sidewalk in front of the building was cleared. Rubber straps on the weight machines will not be replaced until they break which is scary when it happens to you and 400 lbs come crashing down. They have less hours open than 10 years ago. Some people insist on playing their own music out loud without using headphones while other music is playing through the loudspeakers. Kind of frustrating to hear two separate songs at the same time. Rules like that are not being enforced. The air conditioning always breaks in the summer.
