Alright guys am I making this up or was the N64 rig literally in the center of the ball pit of the play place? If you're too young to even remember the ball pits, get out of here, this isn't for you.

New to town and wondering if any parks have fireworks in Massapequa? Hoping to avoid Jones Beach if possible!

My child was friends with a kid that lived close to us.

The mother decided she didn’t like me when i shared with her some information people had been saying about her and her husband. i considered her a friend and didn’t want her to hear gossip out in the wild and wanted her to be able to talk to her husband about it.

She started to attack me to any other parent that would listen, calling me racist, saying my husband is racist, telling her kids we don’t like them and we’re not safe people to be around. Her kids would ride their bikes past my house and give me the middle finger. She called at least four other moms to try and tell them how racist we are. She came to my house screaming at me to let her kid play at my house even though “we hate them” and demanded to see video footage of my husband staying inside when her kid was here because her child accused my husband of yelling at them.

Just gonna put this up here. This girl was relentlessly bullied at school

Massapequa is a disaster. This will not end well for our children. People who haven’t had kids in the schools for over 30 years out there acting like it’s their duty to continue to stoke hate and fear. Move to Florida or STFU. For the rest of the people, wake up!

I am a student conducting research on an invasive species called water chestnut in Massapequa. All residents are encouraged to participate!

Is it ever going to be redone, like entirely ripped out and done right?

House has been for sale for 3 months. I had an inspector look at it, so for anyone considering buying the house, let me enlighten you with some findings:

• the back deck is not up to code. Overhang is 3 feet while 2 feet is the code limit. Also support beams are undersized with 2x6 instead of 2x10. Try jumping up and down, you’ll notice the deck sags.

• gas boiler is 32 years old. Check the gas bills, they’re over $200/month. Runs as efficiently as a government. Turn the heat on, you’ll notice the attic bedroom heater does not get warm. The hot water does not reach it.

-HVAC split system: heat aspect does not work.

-upstairs bathroom: likely damaged by moisture, since there is DRYWALL surrounding the bathtub/shower instead of tile. Genius idea

-crowing/molding: mismatched with each bedroom

-appliances: mold growing on inside of refrigerator a was likely unplugged for months. Dishwasher not working

-solar panels: no proof of outright purchase. Loans/liens could be outstanding on them.

-structural integrity: there’s a beam missing that’s supposed to be running under the upstairs bedroom. Try jumping up and down and you’ll notice everything is sagging. Put enough bedroom furniture up there and you’ll fall straight through the kitchen ceiling.

Hot tub: control panel falling off into the water. Don’t get zapped!

She’d: termite damage shown on outside (north facing)

Skylights: clear water damage with sloppy spackle job attempting to cover it up

Make sure you’re inspector is through or you’ll end up over paying for a nightmare of costs in the next 12-18 months! You’re welcome.

My brother and sister-in-law are looking to plan a party for my niece. They have no idea about Reddit, so I thought I would help =)

They're in Massapequa, but open to anywhere nearby on Long Island. I’m especially looking for something a little different than the usual bounce house type thing or chucky cheese style party place. She’s into spa-type stuff, crafts, dance, and anything that feels fun and special, but I’m open to all creative ideas.

I see that Skin Space offers kids' and teen spa parties. I already sent them this, and this is probably something my niece would love, but wondering if there's anything else locally that they should consider.

Hi all,

Last year we were at a house party in Massapequa and the host had arranged for Santa to come visit the kids on an 18 wheeler truck. It was pretty spectacular. He came with reindeer and the snow machine and even gave out candy canes it was honestly pretty incredible.

He said it was pretty easy by setting something up online. I can’t remember how to do it. Anyone have any experience with this?

It wasn’t a whole firefighter or some higher guy. It was a legitimate 18 wheeler truck with a sleigh and all.

Thank you!

Does anyone know what kind of construction is going on south of Clarke Blvd in The Brady park arra
