Hitting The Gym At Mashashimuet Park in Sag Harbor

David Rattiner working out at the Mashashimuet Park in Sag Harbor

The name might be difficult to say, but boy oh boy did they do a fantastic renovation of the playground at Mashashimuet Park in Sag Harbor. I took my 17-month-old daughter to the playground to let her run around and go down the slides, but what I really noticed was that there is an outdoor gym at Mashashimuet Park complete with elliptical machines, resistance machines and stationary bikes. There is no other place in the Hamptons that has this type of thing and to be honest, I think there should be more stuff like this.

 

Let’s face it, in the age of Covid, going to the gym became a little bit iffy. Nobody wants to share the same equipment with dozens of other people that are sweating and huffing and puffing all over the place. Now that we have the vaccine, gyms are finally back in action, but Peloton and home workouts are now very much the norm.

 

But what about an outdoor gym? I was fascinated by this idea.

 

An outdoor gym totally changes the game when it comes to how I feel about a gym. When you’re outside, not only does it feel healthier, it is proven that it is safer for you than being inside somewhere.

 

With my daughter in my sight at all times, I tried out one of the resistance machines that is bolted into the ground in the adult workout area of Mashashimuet Park. I was very impressed. The resistance was more than I could handle and I got a serious workout from just doing the resistance machines. My arms were so tired, that when I went over to the pull up bar area and the monkey bar area, I could barely hang on.

 

What’s wrong with working out with equipment outside? Absolutely nothing. You get the fresh air, you get the vitamin D from the sunshine and you get the added benefit of being able to take your kid to the park while you get in a few reps. It’s a very smart way to spend an afternoon.

 

The only other place I have seen an outdoor gym set up that is designed specifically for public use was when I took a trip to Rio Di Janiero at Ipanema Beach. That beach in particular had several set ups all along the walk ways with weights made out of cement, pull up bars, sit up bars, jumping rope and other various equipment that you could work out on while looking at the ocean. Why not bring some of that to the Hamptons?

 

My hat is off to the board of Mashashimuet Park. It’s absolutely beautiful there. The sports courts, the fields, the playground are all first class and the area is well maintained. For me, the real highlight of the park is the outdoor gym area, it’s such a great idea and we should have more of these setups in the Hamptons.

  • Passenger Ferry Service Between Greenport and Sag Harbor in the Works

Passenger ferry service between Sag Harbor and Greenport may just be available sometime in the near future if both the Sag Harbor Village Board and Hampton Jitney President Geoffrey Lynch can work out the details. The idea is not new. In fact, “The Peconic Jitney,” served this function ten years ago but was discontinued for economic reasons. Mr. Lynch is now seeking a 5-year contract to restart the service. He hopes to give the residents and visitors of both forks some new options to get from Greenport to Sag Harbor or vis-à-vis new quicker, carless options.

  • Is It Covid? IS IT COVID???
by David Lion Rattiner

I have been fortunate enough to avoid Covid-19 thus far. A few days ago however, I was sure my luck had changed. It was so sudden. I woke up and was unbearably congested, I had a deep, nasty cough and my voice sounded like there was a frog in my throat. “Honey, I’m pretty sure I got Covid!!! I’m freaking out!!!” Read the full article at Hamptons.com (Link in Bio) #hamptons #covid

  • Sixty-Something: A Tapestry of Historic Hamlets

The future is always in front and somewhat unknown. We live in the now, but the past is a collection of lessons learned and hopefully preserved to be remembered for pretext and guidance.

The east end is chock full of vibrant history and a wonderful now and, I believe, a promising future. My east end journalistic journey of the last twenty years has awarded me the opportunity to investigate, interview, and get to observe the events, the folks and the ways of life of the east end. I have been able to report from Speonk to Montauk. Read the full article at Hamptons.com (Link in Bio) #hamptons #community #local
