This is a great place for the entire family. It was nice just to walk along the marina and watch…read morethe boats. Seagulls fly about. The lighthouse picnic area was nice overlooking Wantagh Bay. There were so many playgrounds to go. The newer ones were best for very young kids. The Wantagh pools were excellent. I definitely give this place 5 stars!

Came here on a Saturday for my employer's charity softball tournament. Our team played against…read moremany other employers, and this park totally delivered for the occasion! With three softball fields, it's basically built for tournaments and pick-up games. Parking was a breeze--lots right by each field, and since it was after Labor Day, no parking fee (pro tip: fees kick back in on Memorial Day). We set up a BBQ and picnic next to the first field. There are plenty of picnic tables and benches, plus some coal grills. But fair warning: the grills are pretty rough, so if you're serious about grilling, definitely bring your own. The softball area itself is perfect for family gatherings, company outings, or just a fun weekend with friends. Good energy, lots of space, and an easy setup for hanging out while cheering on a game. Can't speak for the rest of the park, but this section is definitely a win.

What's up, Merrick Mountain?! Former dump turned into a beautiful light hike by the water. Take in…read morethe scenery, the trails and the goat poo, while enjoying a little bit of suburban park reclamation! If you go up and down the long way, you can get a nice 3.5 miles in on this baby with some hills. Throw in a weighted vest, and you're getting yourself a solid light workout. There are already so many reviews, so just some notes: 1) Make your way around the current dump (also a Nassau County gem, seriously) and drive slowly. 2) Parking is tricky at certain times of the day and on weekends. Make sure to come before 9:30 on beautiful days, or else you'll be parking far, far away. More steps, If you really want them I guess. 3) Wear your sunscreen! Skin cancer is no joke, and it's pretty bright up top with not a lot of coverage if you walk around to the lake. 4) Beware...No lights in the bathroom and really not the best place to use the loo. There however is a shopping center close by... 5) Look out of all sorts of critters from birds to bugs.. including ticks.

Recently took my energetic active 19 month old here and honestly did have a fun time. It was my…read morefirst time going to a place like this so don't have really anything yet to compare it to. I like they had little cubbies to keep your shoes since it's understandable you can't wear shoes on the play area. The setup is cute, with two bit slides , a swing, a bunch of foam Matt's, a sensory board and a play kitchen, a climbing apparatus and that's pretty much it. I'm only knocking a point because I felt like the place itself a little on the smaller side. Staff was nice. I liked how I had to walk away for 2 seconds to grab a tissue and the girl stood with my son just to keep eyes on him. Price point I thought was reasonable and probably will be going back.
