[Same as my previous 4/3/2021 review; just added more pictures of cherry blossoms] - Silver Lake is one of top lake parks in Staten Island. The park offers a pleasant walk during the Fall and Spring months with a beautiful bridge located at its center. During the Fall, you can see a variety of foliages and during the spring, you can see the Cherry Blossoms. Would recommend anyone to take a walk through this peaceful park to reset their minds, get good air, and enjoy the nature. 10/10 read more

Find a spring in your step at your local park. Silver lake park has temporarily closed all vehicular traffic through park. A large paved road for keeping distance from other park goers. Walk around the reservoir or cross in middle and make your laps with the sunshine on your shoulders. Parking is easy on both Forrest Ave and Victory Blvd have plenty of street parking. Very flat and paved easy access for all to walk or run. Tiered levels with fenced in dog run, on Victory Blvd. side top tier. Also, plenty large grassy areas for sports, soccer, frisbee.

Tennis courts and softball field on the other side park off Hart Blvd, a short hilly walk down Forrest Ave. read more

One of the most stunning parks in all of New York City. It's a shame my fellow New Yorkers aren't as aware of this park as they should be, but I guess that's why this park exudes serenity. Seriously, take a few hours this weekend (maybe with the doggo) and just sit in Silver Lake Park. A little bit of a trek from the ferry if you don't live nearby, but worthwhile. read more

They are Making a really great job keeping this place clean and welcoming. Are usually come in when visiting my family. I like to work here to the lake and surround it Well enjoy its beauty. Staten Island is blessed to have this place within reach. I think I like it more than any other park in the five boroughs. When the COVID-19 is out there, I think that going out and enjoy nature is the right choice. read more

Most peaceful park on the Island. With beautiful lake in the middle, between steep hills and old trees. It's a great park for runners, dog walkers, or just to relax in hot summer day on a grass or bench. Stone bridge that crosses the lake is an architectural beauty, and love of the fisherman. There always ducks swimming in the water, and they are fun to watch! (Parking on Victory can be problematic, but around the corner leading to Forest Ave you can always find a parking spot on the side that hugging the park.) read more

Great place to relax or exercise. I've only been here during the day and and a few occasions around dusk, but in my personal opinions it's one of the best parks to run in. It has separate areas for the children's park and dog play area. It's always clean, as I constantly see the parks department patrolling around to empty trash cans and pick up any branches or trim shrubbery. It has a beautiful lake which is absolutely awesome to run around especially during the changing of seasons where you're able to capture the true beauty of the park. Oftentimes you can find people gathered along the bridge that was constructed over part of the lake to allow for safe access for fishing and a shortcut that allows one to travel from one side of the park to the other without having to travel another mile to do so. Overall this a great environment to take a stroll, brisk walk or train for a 5K/marathon, or play with your children and/or pets. There's even a beautiful golf course that runs parallels along the west side of the park. read more

Silver Lake Park is a really beautiful, big park. There is a walking path around the lake and a beautiful stone bridge that intersects the lake. If you walk further up the hill towards the Victory Blvd side, the overhead views of the lake are really pretty. Closer to Victory Blvd there is a fenced, off leash dog park. It is mulched and a nice addition to the park but could be maintained a little better. Many dogs seem to really enjoy it, though. My black lab doesn't care for the dog park much so we opt to just walk the trails. Lots of families bring their kids to ride bikes, I see lots of runners, some relaxing on the benches. Overall it's a great park for everyone. read more

Always will remember the lake as a magical place. At the heart of Staten Island. Surrounded with green and buildings, this is a real hidden gem. Love this place Winter or summer. Anytime. It is the place I come to just to relax (Maybe used to come to will be more accurate since I moved to Brooklyn). But now while writing, I know this weekend I will come here. I need it. You need it too. read more

I wanted to try a new park and after reading the great reviews about this park I decided to come here. There was a lot of parking in the area which is a plus, the park was so clean and well kept. I felt like I was in Central Park less the crowds. It has a beautiful lake and you can walk around it. I also saw a very pretty gold course. This park is very dog friendly. read more

Many many opportunities to find a quiet spot and a bit of water and green here. Thanks to wikipedia for the facts: Silver Lake Park --- the first city park to be established on Staten Island --- Silver Lake was created in 1917 when water was brought there from the Ashokan Reservoir in Ulster County, New York, 119 miles (192 km) away, to fill it. The project took three days and was completed on October 25. The reservoir became the largest body of fresh water on Staten Island. In addition to the reservoir, Silver Lake Park is noted for its public golf course. read more

Love this park especially to bring my dogs too for a nice long walk around a trail. Huge dog park also on one side & animal lovers everywhere & don't worry about the poopy bags theres a bunch attached to every tree around the park! You have lots of people running, riding bikes or roller skating. On the weekends the car path is closed so you have more area to walk on and not worry about cars coming by. They have a huge nice lake that you can look at over a nice little bridge. Nice place to relax, tan, picnic or even just read a book on a bench. There is also a golf course connected on one side too. read more

In the middle of the city, a beautiful artificial lake in the heart of the park. For me, any part of the city which isn't tall buildings or shopping stores is a bless, and this park is definitely a bless, The lake is not for swimming, but that doesn't mean it is not beautiful. There are lots of parking spots on the near streets, and you can easily miss it if you don't know that it is there, pr if you ignore the signs. Never been here when it is snowing, but looking at the photos it look gorgeous. Maybe this winter (if it will come this year ;) read more

Def the best park on Staten Island. Beautiful for all seasons! I love running around the lake. I am glad there is an organization looking after it now. Super excited for the future of the park :)))!!! read more

When I lived closer years ago, I'd stroll here almost daily. Between the lake, the hills of grass, and the walkways covered by the shade of trees, it's hard to find a nicer suburban park. read more

Great park, you'd think it's your own private park actually. No one frequents except a few regulars. It's kept so lovely it feels like you've left Staten Island. I love everything about this park but warning warning there are absolutely no Restrooms anywhere or nearby. read more

This park is amazing! Full of great views of the lake, lots of grass area to have a nice picnic. It has great walking trails too. Great place to take pictures. Very diverse & clean. read more

The landscape of the park is full of rolling hills, water, stone bridge & paths of huge old trees. Also, you'll smell Honeysuckle, Pine & see Mulberry trees. The problem is the park is NOT maintained well. They cut the grass and don't use a bag to collect all the cuttings, so they just leave it making it impossible to sit and picnic (unless you want grass in your eyes & food!). They don't rid weeds , the pavement is cracked , warped making the park not user friendly to bikes, roller blades, children and anyone. There isn't a bathroom, so make sure you don't plan on spending the day. There are no events, concerts or flea markets. Parks are not just for "strolling"...they are the central recreational /leisure place for the community. The Silver Lake Conservancy began painting benches and making an effort to clean up but no huge impact so far. read more

My favorite place on Staten Island. I have been coming more and more frequently because it's so relaxing and beautiful. I like to bring the dog and have a picnic in the grass. There is lots of parking on the Forest Avenue side right before you hit Victory Blvd so that's where I tend to gravitate towards. I recently started to jog here because there are a lot of paths and stairs that give you a great workout. There is a big lake in the center of the park with a bridge to get across to the other side. I like to stop here to relax and take in the views. The park is kept clean and there are always a decent amount of people there, so you never feel like you're in a deserted area. I like the dog park because there's separate areas for small dogs and big dogs. The golf course gives it even more charm. On one of my last visits I saw two big deer running through the park to Forest Avenue. It was really cool! Now all I need is to find a place to live nearby with views of this beautiful park. read more

yesterday's a bright, beautiful day such that i thought i had to go out & get a respite from my writing assignments. i walked all the way from my place here in Stapleton and went around this gem of a park here in Staten Island: Silver Lake Park. I'd pass by it often before and kept in mind that I'd actually visit it, which i did finally. it's simply beautiful. it's not even crowded---what can you expect on a weekday? there were children, small groups of friends, families, couples, & solitary souls. I walked around the lake, which has a concrete bridge that divides the like into 2 sections. i saw a single multi-colored wild duck plus 2 white guys who were doing some fishing. it was already turning 8pm in the evening but the sun's still up. there's the golf course on the other side, which can be another destination some other time. i'll be back for sure. read more

Considering you're still in New York City, this is very country-like. But you can't swim in the lake and the ride up from the ferry (for us bicycling Manhattanites) is a steep bear. Big workout! That's why I usually end up at Snug Harbor. read more

Great park, spacious, pet friendly, beautiful views and great bike riding. The automobile road is closed on the weekends to accommodate people rollerblading skateboarding and riding bicycles as well. The reservoir in the middle is picturesque as it is beautiful. There's even an area up on victory boulevard that overlooks the entire park with amazing views. read more

Love this park. Great for my son who is very active. Has a playground for the little ones. Great beautiful lake. Love this park. Best on Staten Island. read more

I can't believe there aren't more reviews for this park. It's a sanctuary. Upon entering it and receding behind its thick border of trees, the sounds of traffic and city life just fade away. What you're left with is piece, quiet, and nature--some ducks, a couple rabbits, swaying foliage, and the sound of light wind on the surface of the water. read more

Just played on the hottest day of the year... Course was magnificent, great tee boxes, fairways and greens well maintained. Rolling hills, beautiful tree lines, great carts (and they said they are getting brand new ones), water holes and a nice fresh water brook all around the course.Tasty dogs and burgers at turnaround grill. And they have this beautiful dog with eyes bluer then Sinatra hanging around. Love this place!!! and u can play at times for next to nothing. WITH CART INCLUDED. U need cart here. read more
