Shell Creek Park in my opinion is great when you look at the facts. The park itself is basically…read morehidden from all traffic and tucked in the back of Island Park. This means you do not hear any cars, you do not see people walking by, there is no noise, ad the park hardly ever gets crowded because of this. Is this a plus or what! Besides this the park is FREE. The grounds are VERY WELL kept, there is never garbage around, the grass is beautiful, and the best is the park is on the water! What parks around here sit on the bay with the view of boats and the bay? The bathrooms are open, basketballs, tennis, softball, kids play area, shuffle board, and the park even has the equipment to lend you. There are people fishing in the far end which is nice to watch.

We had such a fun day at the beach and pool today and we can't wait to go back !! Super clean,…read morenowhere near as busy as - say - the TOH lido beach. Lifeguards at the pool were on POINT. they were great. Pool got a little busy but nowhere near as busy as other TOH pools, which we loved! And the beach part had TONS of room. I'm going to go back alone just to lay out and tan because it's so pleasantly quiet !! We are hewlett residents so we paid $5.50 (kiddos under 10 were $2.75!) it might be slightly more for TOH residents who live outside of east rock or Hewlett, but not by much. If you're not a TOH resident make sure you go with someone who is otherwise the cost is $30. No rafts allowed in the pool area (even floaties) but the pool only goes up to about 6 feet. We had a couple non-swimmer kids with us and they had a blast in the low end. There's also a really cute kiddie pool/splash pad area for the younger ones! I can't believe I didn't know about this gem sooner! It was wonderful. Small, easy parking, easy to get around. There is apparently food on-site but I don't think it was open when we were there so we just headed to Lazy Lobster for fish and chips after our day at the beachpool (the term I coined for this amazing spot!) Cannot wait to go back!!

Hewlett Point Park is truly a hidden gem of south shore Long Island, Town of Hempsteads community…read moreparks/beachfronts. Nestled deep within East Rockaway, Bay Park - Hewlett Harbor, Lynbrook area. It has a small playground, pool and beachy areas. Not too big, but not to small, just right for a peaceful walk on a sun shining kind of day. It's just before the season really opens, so still quiet enough to take it all in. In past summers I know this location to host Town of Hempstead Music in the park evening event(s). Its an easy beautiful sandy area where you park your beach chair and listen to the mellow sound of the ocean waves behind you as the musical sounds of joy face and embrace you. :) Can't wait till the season really starts and I can enjoy a local park like this even more. Maybe I even bring my kayak down and ask to push myself off from their shore. :)

I attended the free 2 hr pickleball clinic in Baldwin Harbor Park, located in in The Town of…read moreHempstead. It was my first time playing, and I took to it like a duck to water. We played doubles, and my partner and I won the game against the other two players. Points are scored only when the serving team wins a rally, and I am a good server. I learned fast how to make the ball hit the court in front the blue line, which is known as the kitchen. Elvis, the head coach, was thorough in his explanation of the fundamentals of the game. We practiced our skills with our peers, getting feedback from the coach that was assigned to our court. There was a coach for each of the eight courts, and each court had four players. I learned the rules of the game and how to score. The goal is to keep the ball out of the kitchen. You can only volley outside the kitchen. The class lasted approximately two hours, and we all had fun. I will definitely be back to take more classes. Go to "Hempsteadny.gov keyword: pickleball lessons" if you are interested in learning this highly popular game. ADVISORY: Coach Elvis said that classes registered for online usually fill up within 15 minutes, and summer registration begins on 6/3/2025.

Grew up coming to this park to play basketball straight after highschool sometimes with friends…read more There's not much change with the basketball courts since then and a lot of the paint has worn off but people still frequent it. It seems the rest of the park's activities have been upgraded though, such as the kids' apparatus, new and fresh pickleball courts, clean tennis courts and such. The structure of the park is organized and great for the large space. On hot days, there's plenty of shade with trees. The public pool here is large and fun! There is bugs often just as fyi and you need to look online to make sure it's open. There's so much to do here with the different activities!!! Cant wait to see more improvements!!

East Rockaway, NY is a great place to live in Nassau County, not to be confused with our county…read moreneighbors of Far Rockaway, Queens, NY. It's a cozy little village nestled between Lynbrook, Oceanside, Rockville Centre, Woodmere townships. Proud to consider myself an East Rockaway resident for almost a decade now. We have very responsive elected village officials that have been working hard before and post hurricane Sandy to assure that we can live in a beautiful maintained residential area. The village halls with memorial park along side of it hosts many special events from: theater and music shows, Huckleberry Frolic (50 anniversary 2018), Stars & Stripes event, 9-11 Memorial remembrance service to Memorial Day Parade Flag/color guard gun salute and much much more. Come down, stroll the park and enjoy being outdoors for a bit.

Can get there by LIRR to Long Beach stop. We've only driven there. There's a toll plaza via the…read moreNY-878/Nassau Expressway/Atlantic Beach Bridge, a drawbridge. Or via Long Beach Blvd. which is around the middle of the island to/from the Oceanside area. Or via Loop Parkway which is more to/from eastern direction. By New York Ave, there's a ramp to the well-maintained boardwalk, with access ramps to the beach. Outdoor showers by the beach ramps. Clean restrooms. Snack place nearby. Please check their website for updated info. For this year, Beach passes are needed to get on the beach at specified times, $15/day for non-residents. We've gone at 5pm when it isn't too hot and passes no longer required. Not crowded the times we've gone. The sand/beach is very clean. Lifeguards only til 6pm. They were strict with the flags; will call your attention with their whistles if you swim outside the designated area.

You can rent beach umbrellas and chairs, which is super convenient. The rental stand only takes cash. We rented one umbrella and one chair and it was $45. The beach is very clean, with fine grain sand. They have green flags posted, which indicate designated areas where you can swim. Lifeguards are on duty. There are seagulls and other birds that hang around, but they won't bother you, even if you're eating. They will eat food that's left unattended and out in the open. Police rovers patrol the beach so I think rowdiness is discouraged. One party next to us was playing music on a speaker, but otherwise it was fairly quiet, except for the crashing waves of course. Lots of free nearby parking, but I imagine it fills up quickly on busy days.

She's never been attacked. Most people seem to have good control of their dog. I have seen one dog attacked there, he only got a scratch on the nose, but the owner came over and apologized and introduced himself. There are plenty of regulars there and plenty of friendly people to chat with while your pup is getting their energy out. Most people are good about picking up their pups poop (there are bags), so please keep that going! Be aware, it gets very cold since it's right on the water. There is a fountain running in summertime, in winter it's best to bring water to share.
