Today I checked out the Town of Herkimer Park. Full disclosure: I went to get a couple of pictures to submit with my article about the Herkimer Town Board Meeting (regular readers may remember I freelance for Sentinel Media), but I have been interested in seeing what is there. I sadly missed the Wellness Fair June 14, but I heard it went really well with vendors, food, activities, and demonstrations. They intend to make it a yearly event, so I hope to attend it next year at least.
They looked like they were having a lot of fun.
Some gentlemen were playing pickleball. I had heard jokes about how rough and tough those pickleball players were, so I asked them if they were the infamous pickleball players. They admitted it, and graciously allowed me to take their pictures for my blog. I brought up the Superbowl commercials with Willem Dafoe and Catherine O’Hara playing bad-ass pickleball. They liked the commercial, too.
Maybe not as bad-ass as O’Hara and Dafoe.
I walked around the park, checking out the other facilities.
I could use a little more fitness in my life.
I didn’t look too closely at the Fitness Court, but if I go sometimes wearing more athletic clothing, I would like to.
I do like a nice trail.
I did not walk very far on the fitness trail either, because I wasn’t even wearing good sneakers.
Nicely marked basketball court.
Of course basketball is out of the question. I have neither a basketball nor teammates.
I don’t have an electric vehicle, either.
Another good feature is electric charging stations.
The next event the Town Park Committee is planning is a car show on July 26. I plan to put that on my calendar! The Town of Herkimer Park is located at 154 Pine Grove Rd., East Herkimer.
