Loantaka Brook Reservation

I have been a resident here my whole life, and nothing makes me feel more refreshed and renewed than Loantaka Park. Just take a half hour for yourself walking the trails and walk it just for the singular sake of doing something without a reason. You will take in the natural surroundings and benefit from the atmosphere. Everyone gets along pretty well, everyone goes at their own pace. I was sadden to see the recently posted signs for locking up your cars and minding your belongings, where before that wasn't necessary. Still the park is lined with majestic trees, and sometimes the pond has swans. Overall very scenic and a much needed escape from everyday life.
