Long Lake by Mason Prep and the Ashley House has tremendous potential. Why not build a boardwalk in parts along Lockwood Boulevard, then behind those Calhoun Street buildings to Halsey Boulevard. The reason I’m suggesting a boardwalk is that the sidewalk along Lockwood Boulevard is too close to a busy road to be comfortable, but if you put the boardwalk in the lake and ran it toward the more spacious area near the Ashley House, you’d have a nice walk.

Plus, there is the potential for enhancing it with a "nature walk" with its ecosystem-rich marsh edge, without having to mention the beautiful sunsets and watching the fortunes of those at the "fishing dock." The biggest problem here is that Long Lake is treated like the area's detention pond with parking lots and roadways allowing uncontrolled runoff directly into it and the surrounding marshes. A beautification campaign is long overdue.
