Stumbled upon this park while taking a leisurely drive down by the water. It's a very small (but…read morenice) little neighborhood park. It's basically just a baseball field, a childrens playground and a parking lot. No frills, but the wee ones will have fun.

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. .

Amazing park took my son he loved it. I loved it. BUT this older white man in hat just alone there…read morerandomly next to playground... made me feel uncomfortable with his remark about my son. Maybe it was just me idk Just odd made me feel like . Don't let this little boy run too far off. Just be careful

Juneteenth at Tanner Park was a good time. I saw many familiar faces, some from the neighborhood…read morewhere I grew up, and some from work. The concert had many vendors but due to me working the event I wasn't able to mingle too much but I did enjoy myself. Aubrey at 9 is a star on the rise with her fresh squeezed lemonade and it was good, she also has flavors you can add to the lemonade. The entertainment was awesome, the stage was filled with known and unknown artists and they all did well, I really enjoyed the young girl singing "so easy". Tanner is an awesome park where you can bring the kids to play, take a walk/run, enjoy a concert orsit by the water and clear your mind.

Easy to drive in and walk along the boardwalk. Beautiful views, and a fun water park for kids…read more There was live music playing. A fun stop to get out, stretch our legs and see the water after a long drive.

We were in need of getting outdoors so headed off to Massapequa. Found this hidden gem within an…read moreeasy drive and enjoyed the walk. There are paved trails for walkers as well as bikers and then there are also trails in the woods. The paved paths were more crowded so we stuck to the woody trails. They were clearly groomed in some parts as wooden platforms had been placed over muddy areas. It was peaceful and we definitely didn't feel like we were in suburban Long Island. We weren't able to explore the entire park as our teens started complaining after 4 miles. ‍ We will go back next time without them to explore more!

Geiger Park is an oasis between Deer Park and Wyandanch. It has an amazing history. There are…read morehistorical signs everywhere. It has picturesque pathways and is well maintained. It is a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Two hours are enough to experience it all. There is a splash water park with many slides, a refreshment stand with good snacks, a botanical garden, a walking trail with several benches, a gazebo with a bench underneath, and plenty of good spots to picnic. Today I saw several banana trees, a teenage girl posing for photos in her sweet 16 ball gown, a protective swan father guarding his two cygnets and life partner, an amateur fisherman doing a catch and release although fishing is forbidden in the lake, and some youths joyfully playing soccer on the grass. A local resident told me that last Fall he even saw a baby fox wandering around. Geiger Park is a must visit for those who admire nature and seek adventure. It is also a great date spot. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Today, one staff member offered me a free potted Zinnia plant, but I politely declined.

Belmont Lake State Park is open from sunrise to sunset, year-round…read more They have Pavilion Rentals for larger gatherings or Parties..There is also fishing allowed in the lake : Following DEC guidelines, available year-round. Picnicking is available all year-round. You can also rent rowboats, pedal boats and kayaks... You and your family can also enjoy activities such as picnicking, playgrounds, and using the various game courts and fields. The lake has trail walking, fishing, and non-motorized boating. The 7.6 miles of trails throughout the park are available for hiking, walking, biking, nature observation and, weather permitting, cross-country skiing.

This is a family- and singles-friendly park…read more There is an $8 vehicle entry fee at certain times of the day, so it would behoove frequent visitors to buy an Empire State Pass, which costs $80 for the season. Go to ny.gov keyword: Empire Pass. The same Pass can be used for unlimited visits at most parks and beaches throughout the State of New York. I passed by here on Memorial Day weekend. In plain view was a Park Police vehicle, so I felt safe. I also saw several people riding in a paddle boat. How fun! There are multiple clearly marked trails, which are great places to ride your bike or walk. There were several people feeding the ducks and geese in the lake, ignoring the signs that warn them not to do that. The two children's playgrounds are quite spacious, and leashed dogs are allowed. There are lots of picnic benches and huge tables. The restrooms have a lot of stinky toilets. Staff needs to clean them more often. Finally, BEWARE OF DEER TICKS! A few people said that they saw some, so bring some tick repellent.

I've only been here once, a few weeks ago, to run in a socially distanced Turkey Trot 5K. It was more of a trail run which offered some nice views and terrain to run on. Plenty of paths to run or bicycle on. Trail running seems to be big here with many routes through the wooded areas. Can't say much more since I left after I got my finisher medal and went home. It was Thanksgiving and I had to get ready to feast!

This review is actually for the ice skating rink inside the park…read more It is an outdoor skating rink so make sure you dress warm. The prices are affordable con paired to other ice skating rinks in New York. Rink access is $6 for town of oyster bay and $9 the public. Skate rentals are $5 each. My children don't have much experience with ice skating so having guides would have been helpful. Unfortunately, they do not have an available to rent here. Skate service is quick, they have ample staff to make sure check in and skate pick up is seamless. The rink attendants do a good job of checking on kids when they fall and making sure they're okay and not hurt. The concession stand offers hot chocolate and snacks. We definitely enjoyed hot chocolate after spending an hour on the ice. I enjoyed the cookie dough hot chocolate and cannolis. My kids had the peppermint and gingerbread hot chocolate. We also enjoyed the real wood fireplace to get cozy and warm. Definitely will come back!
