The Kensico Dam Plaza. A place I grew up five minutes away from, but a place I truly didn’t start appreciating until recently. There is nothing quite as jaw-dropping as the Kensico Dam and its architecture. I remember as a child we would go to the playground at the plaza and spend countless running around and playing on our bikes. But in our 20’s, my friends and I have found a new reason to visit the plaza, and we call it the “Sunday Recap”.

In our 20’s, it’s no secret on Saturday nights we like to go out and have a great time. We call it “living our best lives”. But as soon as Sunday rolls around, we are either regretting the decisions we made or are so proud of ourselves that we want to shout it from the rooftop. That is why my friends and I like to take a trip to the Kensico Dam on Sundays to do a bit of a recap of the night before.

By going to the plaza, we feel it allows us to get some much needed fresh air and exercise. We will do laps around the green field for hours, or until we run out of stories.

The dam is one of those places that no matter when you go, you will undoubtedly run into someone you know. Whether you want to or not. But my friends and I never let that stop us from going and having a great time in the sun.

Also, if you have children or younger siblings, I highly suggest visiting the Winter Wonderland Festival at the plaza during the holiday season. There is ice skating, a circus, children’s rides, a hayride and great local food vendors. Every year I take the children I used to babysit, as a fun night for everyone. They absolutely love it and I do too.

Be sure to check out the Kensico Dam Plaza, and maybe I’ll see you there. Here is a quick video I made on my visit! Enjoy 🙂
