One of the best recreational parks in Nassau County. When I lived out here, we visited this park…read morealmost every weekend spending the entire afternoon, bbq'in, playing games, riding bikes, and we even hung up some hammocks. Occasionally, the park will hold certain culture nights, on the weekend that I visited they had a Caribbean night out near the amphitheater. A lot of people showed up and it definitely was not a disappointment. They even had a few celebrity, Caribbean singers. A lot of food vendors and arts and craft vendors were out and about making it worthwhile for the visitors. This park holds a lot of history, the memorial site down near the pond is a great place to watch the sunset. Here's a fun fact, Eisenhower State Park is larger than Central Park in Manhattan. If you ever get a chance to visit, I highly recommend. Not to mention there is also a golf course accessible to the public for a small day fee.

Me and my fellow friends went mini golfing. We were very excited and happy to be there, until we…read morewere in line. We got to the register and were rudely treated when we asked for 5 clubs to play. We checked ahead and were visibly disappointed. It said they closed at 9. We arrived at 7:35. There was one group ahead of us who was let in. We asked and the worker informed us that he only let them in because he knew them and they were his friends. I was very dissatisfied and shocked to hear this unacceptable behavior and unprofessionalism. I am disappointed to say the least. This is about the mini golf course only

- A Waterfront Treasure in Port Washington…read more Bar Beach Park is one of those rare spots that truly has something for everyone. Whether you're here for a peaceful walk along the promenade, a family picnic, or an active afternoon of basketball, kayaking, or fishing, this park delivers. The grounds are spotless, the playgrounds are a hit with the kids, and there's plenty of shaded seating to take in the beautiful harbor views. I love how easy it is to get around--lots of parking, clean restrooms, and great accessibility for strollers and wheelchairs. Sunsets here are pure magic, with the sky melting into gold over Hempstead Harbor. You'll find friendly locals, a relaxed vibe, and all the space you need to unwind. This isn't just a park--it's a little slice of Long Island paradise. Bring your friends, bring your family... and don't forget your camera!

I was there after peak hours, but the beach seemed clean and peaceful. Although I don't think I'd recommend going into the water, it's a nice place to relax and walk, or even to clear your mind and perhaps meditate.

Christopher Morley Park - Roslyn, NY…read more Right off the LIE on Searingtown Road, Christopher Morley Park is a charming, low-key gem that packs a punch. The huge parking lot makes arrival stress-free, and while the pool is under construction, there's still plenty to enjoy. Let's talk dog policy--yes, they allow dogs, but only if your furbaby is running. So if you've got a chill pup who prefers a stroll, maybe toss on a wig and blend in with the sprinters This park is clean, upgraded, and full of surprises. The trail area is perfect for a peaceful walk or jog, and the amenities? Stacked: - Volleyball court - Handball court - Basketball court - Pickleball court - Baseball field (not court--gotcha!) - Skating rink for winter vibes - Seasonal carnival festivities Whether you're here for a workout, a walk, or just to vibe with nature, this park delivers. And when the carnival rolls in? It's a whole new level of fun. Boomsauce Scale: B - basura (trash) BS - basic (come on! Try harder) BS + - better (Yo! That's better) BS ++ - best (alright! Alright! Alrightttt!) BS +++ - Amazing location! now that's boomsauce! Trust me--I am vegan.

Con's - Parking fees…read moreare out of this world - obnoxious locals - Parking fees are insane! Worth repeating lol.. Pro's I visited off season and after hours: my lovable Kylie would enjoy her time and run freely. Usually quiet, only the sound of the ocean, and it was just us.

I'm not really a NY beach person, per se. I love visiting beaches when on holiday because they are…read moreusually cleaner. However, Lido Beach was a nice surprise. Non-resident cars must pay $50 for parking and non-residents on foot pay $25. Residents pay $10. I believe the upped the non-resident fee significantly which is kind of crazy. I would suggest investing in one of those beach trolleys with the large wheels. It makes life so much easier. Unfortunately, I had one with thin wheels so it was a lot to drag that thing in the sand. We picked a spot not too far from the entrance but it was hell getting there with my cart. I have since returned it for a larger-wheeled cart. The water was very rough. I likely wouldn't return here with my toddler in tow but I wouldn't mind an adult's beach day outing here. The beach is very clean and there is ample space where you don't feel on top of other beach goers. The kids had a great time playing in the sand, making sand catles and running around. The seagulls are very aggressive. They were attacking people's unattended food. One guy had to chase away a pack of seagulls that descended upon some unsuspecting person's goodies. They're brazen and will go through your stuff while you're enjoying the water. After spending time on the beach, we went to the showers to rinse off. The shower water is really cold so be prepared for that. It was nice to see that the bathrooms were still clean after a full day out on the sand. Usually, these places look worse for wear after so many people have been using the facilities all day. I'm just happy that this outing made my daughter enjoy the beach and even the sand. She used to not want to walk in the sand. We had to carry her and place her on her chair or a mat but this day, she stopped being particular about her sensory issues with the sand and gave in, enjoying everything else she could do with it. It was great to see her evolution.
