and Recreation
How do I register
my child for a youth league sport?
Registrations are conducted by the individual leagues, not by the Town of West Hartford. Go to the Leisure Services web page and click on YOUTH SPORTS for league registration information.
Where can I take
my child fishing?
Children can fish at Spice Bush Swamp on Mountain Road, between Braeburn
Road and Rte. 4 (Farmington Avenue). In April Westmoor Park holds its
annual Fishing Derby. Call the park at 232-1134 for details.
How often does
the town publish its recreation guide?
Three times a year: winter/spring, summer and fall. The guide is mailed
to every household in town. Go to the Leisure Services web page and click on look for the latest catalog under "Leisure Services Links."
Are there grills
in the parks? Yes.
When do public
bathrooms open at the parks?
Public bathrooms are opened the weekend before Memorial Day and closed
the weekend after Labor Day.
Where can I get
a photo I.D. card or season pass for the outdoor pools?
Summer season passes are for residents only. They entitle you to unlimited
use of the outdoor pools. All Season Pass holders must have a current
West Hartford Leisure Services Photo I.D. This photo I.D. with the appropriate
season pass sticker will be used for your admission to the pools. A new
photo I.D. costs $2 and can be purchased with your season pass at Cornerstone
Aquatics Center, 55 Buena Vista Road. Individuals with current West Hartford
Leisure Services photo I.D.'s may purchase season passes at the outdoor
pool at which they will be swimming. Season pass fees are listed in the
summer recreation guide.
When do the tennis
nets go up and come down?
About one-third of the nets on the hard courts are kept up throughout
the winter. Nets on the clay courts at Fernridge and Eisenhower parks
are removed for the winter around Columbus Day and installed again in
April.
