Green & Serene: Discover Stuy-Town
If you haven’t been there recently, you must check out the “new” Stuyvesant Town. The residential community houses thousands of New Yorkers, but also has acres of outdoor space for the enjoyment of everyone who passes through.
Over the last few years management has paid particular attention to grounds, and their efforts have paid off. New saplings stand trimmed and tall, and fresh flowers and manicured lawns abound. Truly a refuge from the concrete. The grounds are filled exercise space, including b-ball, hockey, and squash courts. Not to mention, plenty of playgrounds and green space.
The Stuy-town Oval stands at the center of it all, and Fall is the perfect time to sit on one of the many benches and enjoy a little serenity. Just because cooler winds are blowing, does not mean it’s not a great time to take in a little bit of mother nature’s work. Sure the scattered lawn chairs of summer, and blankets filled with sunbathers, are long gone, but the Oval still provides a perfect place to enjoy. They even are celebrating the season, and pumpkins and hay bales line the trees making it truly feel like Halloween is just around the corner. And on a blue skied day, the benches that surround the fountain are the perfect place to sit, and relax, and let the sun warm your face.
Oh–one more thing! Don’t forget about the Green Market that goes through fall either! Every Sunday through November Stuy-town hosts a market filled with organics and fresh fruits and veggies. Get out and enjoy it all the good stuff soon!!
