We all like to take a break from schoolwork and have fun with our loved ones. If you’re looking for a place to go when you have the moment to hang out with someone, there is a special spot that’s my personal favorite. You can go too, for free!
The spot I’m talking about is the Northport Village Parks. You must’ve heard of this at least once in your life, as they have two popular parks where you can go for free right on Main Street. Northport Village looks beautiful whether it’s snowing or sunny there. There is a sidewalk on either side where you can rollerskate, scooter, or bike around. The park on the left side of Northport Village is bigger, and there are more swings and a large playground for kids – or even teenagers!
It also has some benches and small hills outside of the playground where you can play frisbee, play ball with your dog, or have a picnic. You can also sit down on a bench that has a beautiful view of the big lake where a lot of boats and the best sunsets are.
The park on the right is great too, it has a smaller playground but it has a big restroom in the small playground, on top of the restrooms is a place where you can hang out and view the whole park. Outside of the small playground is a big straight grassy field where you can have a picnic, run around, or watch the concerts or shows that happen in it. There’s a big gazebo inside the park where people can perform or take pictures in.
The reason why it has a lot of people in these areas is mostly because of the dock in the middle of both parks where you can walk on and see the water, it has a good view of the fish in the water and view of sunsets. There are some benches there where you can sit down and talk to someone.
During the holidays like Christmas, they hold cool parades and sell good hot chocolate for free to keep you warm so that you can see the Christmas parade with your friends or family. And there is a ballet class called Posey School of Dance where you can audition or see the famous story called The Nutcracker.
If you do bring money, the best thing to buy is ice cream from Lics Ice Cream. They have a lot of flavors, good customer service, and delicious ice cream to lick from after a nice day. This ice cream hits the best during the summer.
So, if you have some free time over the weekend or after school, you should go to the Northport Village Parks, one of my favorite places in Northport.
