Best National Park Stamford Near Me

4worldlovers: Join Friends for our monthly hikes. Our hikes are on the first Monday of every month. We call these hikes Plikes as we borrow the term from the Swedes who combine jogging and plocka upp (to pick up) to obtain plogging. Thus Hiking plus plocka upp, gets us Pliking.

Our Plikes run about 2 hours and are to the less used areas of the park. This allows us the opportunity to explore, check on the status of less used trails, and tidy up as we go.

We meet at 9:00 am at the bridge on Merribrooke Lane in Stamford. Please bring gloves and a small trash bag. We hope that you can join us.

Bald eagles continue to do well on the Mianus River. Keep an eye for their epic nests.

4worldlovers: Scalzi Park is the largest recreational area within the Stamford city limits. It features tennis, basketball, volleyball courts, running and hiking trails, a playground as well as a bocce ball court. It also houses Cubeta Stadium, which is home to the Stamford American Legions and Babe Ruth baseball teams.

Skateboarders and inline skaters attended several design meetings between December 2004 and January 2006, which ultimately led to the City's only cement skate park being constructed.
