Which is not bad at all considering all you can do here. There's golf, and marina, pool, lots of scenic walking /workout paths. There's plenty of parking too. It had amazing views of the water. Very cute day date.

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.

The quarter amount of sellers who stuck it out after the wind died down had some interesting items for sale. A copper enamel pin, a photo of the beach, a tray, a pottery vase , some booths fog children's items along with food trucks and the like. I missed The Mystic Band- ( which I find worth following) NOTE: GPS takes you to wrong side of park go doe main street and mk left at Carvel Into area to park.

Discovered this park when my son was a toddler (3), & moved here when he was 5 . I spent many,…read moremany days here with him, my mom just enjoying the trail and sunset and ice cream. Was a vendor several years at the (huge) Summer artisan craft show- when it only cost $35 to exhibit - now its like $150.. I've had a few picnics and dates mixed in. My son is now 33 And the park looks pretty much the same as first time I laid eyes on it. Kiddos can still play in sandbox & shimmy down the mini fireman pole..adjacent to the swingset..I would even come here- and ride my bicycle in rings around the lake ( 1.5 miles =1 lap)..doing laps & hustle my ride back up to Belmont Lake in N.Babylon..such good, great times. Also a great location for wedding parties - so parking can be tight. My fav memory is , when on a date, my son ( @7) accompanied me, my date & his dog, a female springer spaniel. Alongside the lake my son leaned in and whispered to the dog. I didn"t know what it was till later. He told her to jump in the lake - and she DID! It was like a comedy scene out of a Woody Allen movie..Trying to get the dog out - who was now chasing the ducks in water- my son laughing ! We finally cajole the dog out- now sopping wet . I was yelling at my son as we retreated to the south end of park - to dry off the dog- and 2- to ESCAPE the Killer Swans who were NOW chasing us all- down the path & trying NOT to get bitten. Somehow we outran them and we collapsed onto the benches & called it a day. This still brings smiles & laughs when we revisit the park. No the date didn't work out- but the laughter remains. :) Best time is at sunset..I loved coming here in Summer with a date, have a sunset picnic, some wine & enjoy the beauty. The park does close at sunset- but it is God's real gift to share. .

It's a well known photo spot for special occasions, as there are always brides, maternity shoots, sweet 16/ quinceañeras and engagement photos being taken here. They also have a 911 memorial, which is a lovely tribute. It makes for a nice outing with the family!

( see pix) For those who might be using a GPS be aware once entering the park to make aright turn and follow to the back parking lot where the Center is. The group was lead by Susan Lilli's - Conductor & Narrator. They sang a variety of holiday songs and did a few skits, also handing out candy canes to the audience. "Nancy" played the drum for " Little drummer boy". They ended with "Auld Lang Syne wishing the audience good holidays and Happy New Year. In the back there were a few snacks for the sharing. The building itself has some children's decor, a display of wall tiles and a little Christmas tree in the hall.

There are plenty of lounge chairs and regular chairs to watch the kiddos splash and play - or you can join in the fun as well! An hour or so of playing here and my toddler is wiped out. Be mindful of your own children here - obviously surfaces can get slippery with the water so running is not a great idea. The lifeguards are teenagers usually looking at their phones or chatting with one another. Hours for the splash park at 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and last day of the season is Sept. 2nd. There are also fun lawn games when you first enter like giant connect four and corn hole. If the sand and beach is more your thing, Venetian has you covered. There is a small section roped off in the water designated for swimming. The food section is fast-food esque - think burgers, dogs, that sort of thing. Last time we got a soft pretzel which, at $6.50 was a bit outrageous. And it was underwhelming. We sat at one of the picnic tables - no food allowed in the splash park area. They do have concerts here at night which is fun, and a great (free) family summertime activity. In the off-season, the playground here is awesome. Great for the 3-8/9 year old range. It is also completely closed in via gate, which always makes me feel more comfortable.

Tucked away on 25A, there is a sign, but once you see it, you're probably passing the preserve by! You can find it, and you should visit, as it is definitely going to be worth your while. Admission is free, and it is open year round. There is a parking lot, and I have never seen it get super crowded. During the Spring and Summer seasons, you will see a few people walking around, and a few parents enjoying the day with their children. Otherwise, it's just a plentiful amount of trees, clear walking trails and a direct path to the water. I'm not sure if dogs are permitted, but I have seen a few people walking theirs. This never caused any type of difficulty. Everyone was enjoying their day and taking in the fresh air and sunshine. You can get lost here, despite the preserve not being incredibly expansive. There is a readerboard with maps and paths in the parking lot to facilitate your experience. If you lose your way listen for the cars on 25A, and you will find the parking lot. Trust me! This is a very interesting preserve, as it features dirt paths, a great deal of greenery and many beautiful wildflowers during peak seasons. There are 30 acres for you to explore. The air quality is fantastic, as can be witnessed by the plethora of lichen growing on the bark of the many trees including a surplus of white birch. The paths will lead you to a sandy area with different kinds of bushes and back into another portion of the preserve. Here is where it gets even more exciting. If you keep walking, you will reach the water! It is just a lovely view. There is a bench, where you can just sit and take in the scenery, under the shade of the many trees. There is a small area of marshland prior to the actual water, however, you can venture forth. You will probably encounter friendly boaters, locals and neighbors also simply taking it all in. This is just a wonderful place, where you can escape the daily hustle and collect your thoughts. Highly recommended. Enjoy!
