DIRECTOR’S
MESSAGE Jillian Guthman-Abadom, Esq.,
Director of Human Services
Last month, we opened our newest community park,
Sweet Hollow Park in Melville. For many years, area
residents, including those at The Knolls at Melville,
had asked the Town for a park in their neighborhood
that they could enjoy every day.
It took a lot of creative thinking and cooperation
from the Hindu group, the BAPS, to secure the land
for the park, and considerable input from 70 commu-
nity members to help design the facility, and I am
very pleased with the result. This is a true intergener-
ational park, with features that should appeal to all
ages.
Of particular interest to seniors should be the cov-
ered picnic area, outdoor game tables, a 0.4 mile
walking path and two pickleball courts, addressing
the demand for a sport that is increasingly popular
among seniors. The park also has an outdoor adult
exercise area, and a playground where you can bring
the grandchildren. Still in the planning stage is a
sculpture to be placed at the entrance.
The park is located at the intersection of Old Country
and Round Swamp Roads (the parking lot entrance is
on Old Country). If you’re in the neighborhood, I en-
courage you to drop by and take a look. I think you
will be as pleased as I am to see how it turned out,
and I hope the park will become a magnet for people
in the area looking for a pleasant way to spend some
recreational time.
I hope all of you will have an enjoyable summer,
whether you spend it at a park, at the beach, travel-
ing on vacation, or in your own backyard.
FROM THE SUPERVISOR’S DESK
Frank P. Petrone,
Supervisor
Hooray the summer is here!!! What a fabulous time
to be a senior in Huntington. I hope your schedule
will permit you to find some time to visit the Senior
Beach House in Centerport on its own Senior Beach.
The porch offers a beautiful venue for observing the
water while reading a book, enjoying the company of
another or a game of your choosing. Inside there are
multiple rooms for gathering and of course there is
also the cottage which is opened for various classes.
On Mondays there is mahjong and yoga at the Senior
Beach House and a host of additional art, yoga,
music, and creative classes throughout the week at
both the Beach House and Cottage. For a full listing
of activities check out the Beach House page in the
Senior Center Newsletter.
Personally, one of my favored qualities of the Beach
House is the tranquility of the setting. The setting
coupled with the quality interaction with a friend is a
wonderful recipe for a great day. So while balancing
the responsibilities of the day can be a challenge,
find some time for yourself to go down to the Senior
Beach House and enjoy “your summer home”. We
work hard every day to survive: whether it’s
managing doctor appointments, maintaining
employment, and/or personal care regimens, the
tasks can be long. But in addition to surviving, we
want to thrive and an important part of thriving
comes from pleasure. There are many sources of
pleasure. The beauty of the world around us and the
joy of good company are two sources of pleasure
that I have come to treasure and they both can be
found right here at the Beach House.
Enjoy the summer!
Fondly, Jillian
