yeah, i remember following the creek. my older brothers brought me there when i was 6 or 7 in the mid-70's. the funny thing was we'd be in peoples back yards hanging on their fence just to follow the creek without getting wet and nobody yelled at us or said a word. Now-a-days, if some kid appeared in our backyards we'd call the govm't to go on red alert...

I moved to Seaford in 51 and moved away in 64. The creek flowed into a pond that was across the street from where the HS is located. It was part of a big dairy farm (the potato farm was west of Washington Ave. I think). I remember being in the car with my Dad and having to stop to let the cows cross SN Rd. I think the farm house and barn were located where the HS sits.
There were deer in Seaford then. I think they lived in the park ( before the fence was put up). My father caught one eating some plants near our house. They would go over to the farm looking for food. We lived on Parkview and there was an " Old McDonalds" farm that ran down the length of Lakeview Ave. (cows, pigs, goats, etc.). The deer moved back and forth from the wooded area by the creek to the farms and back to the park.
Back then Seaford was like living in the country.
In the summer trucks would go down SN Rd. as well as the streets near the park and spray DDT to kill mosquitos...big clouds of spray...amazing they did not kill us too.

I sure do remember the creek/swimming hole off the Wantagh Parkway. The water was about 8 feet deep where you dove in. The bottom was all gravel and sand. No branches and no rocks! It was perfect. Yes, the Wantagh Drinking Hole...

I remember the creek well. Miss all my friends from back then. I would love to get in touch with Suzanne Rimatello and Cherly Pitman. We used to go back there and drink. Yvonne if you read this, please email me and let me know how I can get in touch with your sisters. I miss them dearly. Emily Dorsa

"The Creek" I am a SHS-'65 grad.
I lived at 2140 Saddle Path & later on 2165 Paddock Rd. & all of my neighborhood buddies lived around the Avenue School. "The Creek" was a great place-used to build model ships & then reanact the 'Pearl Harbor' attack by sinking them with cherry-bombs in "The Creek"-kinda dumb. "Davis Field" was there too & "Woodies Lot" where she let us play if we cut the backyard. There was a Turkey farm where you could get feathers for playing Indians up towards Sunrise Hi-Way. Thing I remember about "The Creek" was the bottom was orange & on the North Side at Waverley Ave there was a metal pipe that stuck out & had water coming out that we actually usede to DRINK from-nobody died but who knows where that 'mystery' water came from. We sometimes 'camped out' in the "Woods" along 'the creek' & cooked hot-dogs & the occasional fish we caught & just hung out. We did all this stuff by ourselves w/o grown-ups. Ditto for all sorts of ball-games played on lots & at the Ave. School-we chose up our own sides,made our own rules & played at whatever sport was in season with how ever many guys a side as we had-it was a different time. We went out ALL DAY on our bikes in summer with our baseball gloves on the handle bars & played & it was SAFE. Different time & place.

Fast Forward To The Year 2015 and a Seaford grad is writing in this message board about the good old days of 2005...
====================================
I too remember "the creek" when I was 12 years old. That was the latest summer movie that came out that used laser beams to cut people in half. Me and the guys didn't actually go to the movies because we just waited for it to come out on DVD.
It was great having the guys come over and play Halo2 and Grand Theft Auto all day and night until our thumbs turned purple and our wrists hurt.
Ahhhhhh, the good 'ole days watching MTV "Pimp My Ride" all day while playing video games. The best part about it was getting pizza deliveries any hour of the day without ever having to leave the house.
My Mom always kept on asking me and my friends to go outside and play but why bother since we were afraid of contracting Lymes Disease, basil cell carcinoma skin cancer or some other air borne transmitted disease. Besides the fact, we never played sports in grade school so who knew how to organize a baseball or football game.
The summers were great having my Mom pick up after me all the time, I had my own cell phone and I would start text messaging (that is such old school -- today it's video 3d-holograms) from dawn to dusk and I even got an allowance on top of that.
With all that, who wants to leave the house.
Those were the good old days.
Skippy Class of 2011

I sure due remember the creek,Davis field and the swimming hole by Mill Pond,also Coon's Lake. I have thousands of memories of Seaford. Ice skating on Davis Field,roasting mickies and bonfires. Does any one remember Capt. Eddies fishing station at the town dock? We used to go crabbing and snapper fishing there. I live on the north shore now, but drive to Seaford alot, I do miss living on the south shore.

Kevin, Your posting sure brings back some great memories I have of Seaford, the creek, the pond, Hendrickson's Dairy, the woods along the RR tracks, the RR station with the coal stove, etc.. Yup, the potato farm was west of Washington Ave. ----
