He purchased the home and property in 1843 & traveled 3 hrs each way by steamship on the weekends. In 1975 his great-granddaughter donated his home & 7 acres to the county recreation & cultural purposes. The museum closed in 2009 due to lack of funds, however the volunteers of Friends of Cedarmere are currently restoring it. There were 2 small parking lots and a Porto potty. We walked through the beautifully manicured gardens, sat on the porch & appreciated the views. We need to make a reservation to tour the inside of the home.

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!

Lovely little park on my walking circuit. I walk through it every day and it's always so serene and…read morepeaceful. There's never anyone here and it's so well taken care of. The only negative is that the pond has a lot of algae but other than that it's great. I come here for picnics too. Even though 4 geese call this pond their home, there's never a lot of poop on the ground which is always a plus. I believe this park to be dog friendly. This park always makes my day. It's a little hidden gem :) that's why I'm always here. There is some parking on the local streets so you can drive here to enjoy it. Come down an enjoy it

Was looking for an outdoorsy place on my phone map mid-September and found Clark Botanical Garden…read more Free. Parking lot available, with accessible spots. Beautiful mix of plants and flowers flanking the entryway. Not that big of a garden but still had different areas to see - ponds and marsh areas, rose garden, lots of trees, small bridges etc. along walking paths - some paved, but a lot were pebbly, grassy or had steps so may be limited for those using a walker or wheelchair. A nice place for a short nature walk.

Good to know before you go: - Closed on Tuesday…read more- Reserve tickets on the website in advance (with selected time slot) for each person. Tickets for an adult cost $14 each. There are discounted ticket prices available for children, seniors and students. - Ticket includes access to everything on the grounds except the speciality house tours available for purchase at selected tour times. - Large parking lot available - There is a lot of ground to explore, so preferably wear comfortable shoes. - Only one small cafe on the grounds - Bathrooms are located in the Old Westbury House When you finally get into the perimeters of Old Westbury Gardens, you will see that there is truly so much to explore. OLD WESTBURY HOUSE You can walk in for free to look at some parts of the home. They still do require you to wear masks inside and will provide you if you do not have. This is one of the few places where you will find restrooms to use, so definitely utilize it before you leave. It can be closed for 30min during lunch hr. As for this part of the home, it's pretty much self-guided. There are staff members inside for any questions. There are words that you can read displayed on the exhibits. There is another portion of the home which is only available through a separately paid speciality tour. THE OUTDOOR GROUNDS The outdoor grounds is a majority of the attraction. There are places like the Walled Garden, Rose Garden and Lilac Walk which had tons of colorful flowers to admire. There were places like the pool, lakes and ponds which offered nice water views. Occasionally, you can see ducks and geese in their natural habitat. There were places like the Allee which had beautifully designed gates and perfectly lined trees so symmetrically in place. On top of that, there were a bunch of human sculptures placed all over the grounds, which appeared so realistic that something you can actually mistaken them for real people. I loved the outdoors. You can truly get some great exercise in walking the entire acre of this place. You can take in all the great views all around and take some nice photos for memories along the way. It's a really nice place to spend your day and take as long or as short as you want. My parents and I truly took our time and spent a couple of hours there and we all enjoyed our time here.

Now I'm wondering why I traveled 5 hours out of New York to pay for an underwhelming experience compares to Old Westbury which is less than an hour away with more to see at half the price. My friends and I found ourselves at Old Westbury Gardens as a spontaneous destination. With fading daylight and the impending realization that we were not gonna make the cut-off time for pick your own berries, we decided to find an attraction nearby that was affordable yet worthwhile. And Westbury Gardens is just that. For $18pp, you have access to the gardens, the mansion, and the surrounding areas that feature hidden statues, gazebos, and pools. There is more than enough to walk through and you can spend 2+ hours here. My friends and I came end of August and were able to enjoy the flowers in the garden and walk around with the perfect weather. My favorite part of the place was the "temple of love" that is a little further off the beaten path. If you're bored and looking for something to do, Westbury Gardens is a great destination. An easy way to be in the shoes of 20th century American aristocracy and feel rich (or poor!) for a day.

A Great beach park, walking promenade and playground on the North Shore of Long Island. The…read morefacilities are well maintained and there is plenty to do. This beach park is big, the website boasts over 60 acres of land. Since this is a beach slap on the sunscreen and soak up those rays, vitamin deficient folks will have no problem producing more vitamin D as the sun is scorching! There are open and covered picnic areas for you to barbecue. I think these areas require a permit and a fee and are only available to residents of the town. The beach has at least 2 life guards at every marked swimming area and these guys and gals do their job, so people please swim within the flags! Food options are limited and the concession stand is only opened on the weekends, the prices are fairly reasonable. The beach park is pet friendly and they provide baggies at certain stations so you can clean up after your pooch. There is a fee for parking $15 for residents and $20 if you're not a resident. A great place to spend a weekday or weekend to get away from the heat or just hang.

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!

First part was just huge rocks which hey that can't be helped I get it. We walked down the other way which was okay. It was also sort of dirty I mean maybe off season okay I get it. Just the beach park in Oyster bay off season doesn't look like this. Since this is like our only beach/bay whatever I'll let things slide. I'm still annoyed just at the fact we barely get any beaches but that's a whole other issue (with the county whatever lol) Like Mineola is just the no beach for you! Except this one. Obviously yes we can go to literally any beach if you wanna pay non resident fees or go to actual real beaches Jones, long beach, robert moses etc. I'll just stop my ranting and it's not this beaches fault lol. I gave another star because I liked the poop bags everywhere available. Have to come back with our pup :P They also have great events here though it's been years I still have fond memories.
