Playdate at Hoyt Farm SPRINKLERS this week ? **Just heard about new rules for non residents**

I hope its not too last minute...

I wont include Tuesday, since there's the other GTG that day. Hoyt farm is in Commack, and they have a cute sprinkler area (also a reg playground/sandboxes, and of course animals to see in the farm area). and shaded picnic tables right there too (and toilets, yayy! lol)
From what I understand Smithtown residents just need a town sticker, all others, its $5 to park there (per car). I can call and doublecheck that.
The hours are 11-4 (of the sprinklers).

I can give directions to anyone that needs. I'll post photos of the sprinkler/playground later today so you can see the layout.

So lets see who can make it ! If not this week, we'll try next. I just hope I dont go into early labor

ETA: Pack a lunch!

** A friend just told me that she called, and was told that non-residents ARE allowed in, however only if they are DIRECTLY behind a resident in line and they pay $5 per car.. how rude Im sure we can work out meeting nearby if anyone really wants to go.

I can probably go on Wednesday or Thursday. I LOVE Hoyt farm!!! Their sprinkler area is so adorable. If you live in the Smithtown area, you don't even need a sticker. You just need to show your liscence at the booth. Otherwise, it's $5 like you said, which is still totally worth it. We just went there a couple of weeks ago:

Here are some pics I have handy

For those that havent been there, its a great layout, everything is close by (the reg playground-which most of it is IN sand, so wear flip flops), the shaded benches are in the sprinkler area, the restrooms are nearby too.
They also have a HUGE lawn if anyone wanted to have a picnic... I cant sit on the floor for long lately..

Bumpity for the morning/late nite crowd

Are the Weds votes still going? I still plan to go, since I live so close and some other local moms will most likely be there too.

IF anyone wants to go, please speak up or I guess we'll reschedule for LIF.

Is this the park on New Highway??? I pass by everyday and swear it's Hoyt farm but I thought it was just a park.
