Has anyone noticed? We not only have great parks, but we have a lot of them by comparison to some of the other towns in the area. On the West End, there is one behind Vermeule Mansion and the Community Center (corner of Greenbrook Road & Clinton Ave) and one at West End School. Then we have the middle of town with Green Acres park (ENORMOUS, with a beautiful field, pond, walking path, basketball courts AND kids equipment). The entrance to Green Acres park is hard to miss: it's alongside the bridge on Rockview TERRACE near it's intersection with Greenbrook Road. But we also have the park at Stony Brook School on Grove Street going up to Route 22. And in the East End there's East End School at Oneida Place. I know there are tennis courts there, but I'm not sure if they're freely accessible.
It's a lot of parks and they're pretty well maintained. You can frequently see a resident Blue Heron (a HUGE bird that leaves a shadow like an airplane on the ground when he flies) in Green Acres near the pond, often up in a tree but sometimes also on the ground. All of them have some kind of field to play in--even the one behind the community center. And this is a great place to get out and meet other parents or residents... even in the cold!!
