I just found out that the regular price is $31.66 per person. And kids 12 and under eat free at the restaurant.

Comment on Hiking Spruce Brook Ravine by Sean Henri

Hi Daniella. Access to this trail is getting increasingly difficult. The dirt road extends about .7 miles before you get to the trail. The road conditions have gotten increasingly bad and you can no longer drive to the parking area that some other websites might direct you to. I would suggest parking somewhere on the paved part of the road and walk the rest of the way. It will only take you about 15 minutes. Here’s a link with walking directions: http://g.co/maps/d59va

We tried to find this based on direction in New England Waterfalls (Parsons & Watson) but the directions didn’t seem to make sense, nor did they mention having to drive along a narrow rocky railway bed! We got spooked at such a drive, and didn’t finish. How long does one have to travel alongside the train track, and is there any other entrance to the park, and the falls, especially the one that you can walk behind?

Hi Bonnie. I found their website and it looks as though they have a second phone number: 860-225-3020. They also have a contact form you can try if that line is down as well: http://www.newbritainyouthmuseum.org/NBYM-NB-parks-museums-contact.html

I have an injured wild rabbit,that may possibly have a broken leg. I have tried calling, but I am not sure if you even have power. I would love to bring this animal in, as I don’t know what else to do. I can’t just let it go and fend for itself. Please let me know if you are open. 203-440-0398. I will continue to call.

This is addressed to David and his welcome comments regarding the Polka-Dot Playhouse. You got it all right, David regarding the shameful transaction of United Peoples Bank in selling the building housing the new Playhouse (now known as ‘The Playhouse on the Green’) to Forstone Capital. My name is also David, David D. Reed and I am the founder of the Polka-Dot Playhouse way back in 1954 in Stratford,Ct.I am still alive at 83 and I would hope to welcome you to join an already organized effort to ‘Take back the Playhouse’! If anyone thinks that I, as the founder of the Playhouse, intend to allow this irresponsible action of Peoples Bank to ignore the issue of the millions of Connecticut taxpayer dollars being passed on to the interest of a real estate investment group in such a disgraceful acquisition as the sale of the building housing the new Playhouse on the Green,(which was intended to be a permanent home for the Playhouse,) without my leading a campaign to oppose it, they had better be prepared to get up a lot earlier in the morning than I do, if you take my meaning! Please, everyone who reads this and cares about the survival of the Playhouse and the Arts in Bridgeport, contact me by my email, especially you, David, and help us ‘Take Back The Playhouse’! We can and we will do it, but we need everybody’s help! Join the cause! DON’T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!

It is just so sad to see what was once such a beautiful park go into shambles. I remember walking with my parents and siblings to pleasure beach when I was younger and being able to enjoy the rest of the day at the park without any worries what-so-ever. I was always nervous when going over the bridge, but it was exciting at the same time. I do miss those days and wish that the park was still open for my new family to visit sometime. It will definately bring back lots of good memories!! Hopefully, someday it will be rebuilt back to what it used to be!

Wow : I have to try and dig up some old pics of pleasure beach. It was beautiful. I loved the carousel It was so much fun. I went there in the 50′s,60′ I remember when the old wooden bridge was there. I use to be so afraid to go over it in the car. Also remember as it started to go down hill. The dance hall, carousel all of it. The little cottages. My older sisters use to tell me that they use to go there all the time when they were young too. Plus my grandmother who passed in 1978 at the age of 84 use to tell me about all the dances and different bands that would come in there. Talk about being haunted I bet their are a few ghost out that way. I do not know when it was build but it has been around for a very long time. I would be curious to know when the 1st cottage and who built it and when the amusment park 1 st open.
