For the third park in our Area Parks Series we visited the always colorful and aptly named A Dream Come True Playground. This park really is a dream come true, not only because of the fantastic and extensive play equipment, but because it all started with a small Girl Scout Troop who had a big dream. They dreamed of a playground where all children, regardless of age or abilities could truly play side by side. Now that’s a dream worth fighting for! After 9 years, this fully accessible and inclusive park was a reality.
Harrisonburg’s SE Connector Project: The End is in Sight
The Harrisonburg SE Connector is nearing completion, with a 6.1 mile stretch of road connecting Route 42 and Route 33 East, making crossing the county less of a hassle and more of a beautiful thing. Not only will the commute be shorter, but it allows for access to more businesses -- locally- and nationally-owned alike.

Refreshing & Sweet: Bridgewater Staycation at Ashby Pool
Most people have driven past Ashby Recreation Area (ARA) -- known to many as "Ashby Pool" -- a thousand times without giving it a second thought. But I ask you to stop and consider the possibility of a sweet, refreshing spot for the whole family to hang out during the summer months. Tucked away off Mount Crawford Avenue in Bridgewater, drive up the private street and into a wide open space with peaceful countryside views adjacent to endless greenery. Behold, a fabulous little known members-only pool and recreation area that has been around for over fifty years.
