Within the 13-town region many cultural, educational, and recreational destinations, including shopping malls, museums, nature trails and amusement parks, are readily available. In addition, Waterbury's close proximity to the ski resorts of New England to the north and the beaches and boating of Long Island Sound to the south means that the area's residents have easy access to a wide range of year-round, world-class recreational activities.
