Lakewood Park, Waterbury, CT -
This park has lots of parking. Lots. The lot is so big, there's actually a full sized basketball court with lights in the middle of the parking lot.
and there's also a court with a wall (for tennis?) But, I was thinking kids might enjoy a game of wall ball here.
You are supposed to walk up these stairs to the beach and playground because you aren't supposed to park up at the top.
There's a beach, a swimming area roped off in the water and there is usually a lifeguard on duty at this park.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
