I was happy to visit and spend time with her while burning off summer calories lol. It's a beautiful park and I noticed quickly that it is a place of choice to walk around the lake for many people. It was a beautiful day and I truly enjoyed my visit.

I had such a good time at the Gran Combo concert on Sunday night. I've been to the park before but…read moreI wasn't aware or didn't remember that there were concerts in the park. I really enjoyed myself the park is HUGE, I'm told it's bigger than Central Park which is . The park is beautiful, but what I will say is that they need some extra lighting for when it gets dark. Besides that, I will be looking to go to more concerts in the park for the future.

Take in…read morethe scenery, the trails and the goat poo, while enjoying a little bit of suburban park reclamation! If you go up and down the long way, you can get a nice 3.5 miles in on this baby with some hills. Throw in a weighted vest, and you're getting yourself a solid light workout. There are already so many reviews, so just some notes: 1) Make your way around the current dump (also a Nassau County gem, seriously) and drive slowly. 2) Parking is tricky at certain times of the day and on weekends. Make sure to come before 9:30 on beautiful days, or else you'll be parking far, far away. More steps, If you really want them I guess. 3) Wear your sunscreen! Skin cancer is no joke, and it's pretty bright up top with not a lot of coverage if you walk around to the lake. 4) Beware...No lights in the bathroom and really not the best place to use the loo. There however is a shopping center close by... 5) Look out of all sorts of critters from birds to bugs.. including ticks.

Visit Dates: February 14, 2021 & April 8, 2021…read more So I unintentionally pulled some moves (who the hell pulls accidental moves that might end up turning out well?) and suggested hiking here on Valentine's day with the guy I'm now seeing. We flirted on facebook and made a date to meet here on Valentine's day, I kinda wasn't sure if it was definitely a date or not because I'm fucking clueless sometimes but that's a whole other thing. Anyway so my first hike here Valentine's day, I missed the actual loop entrance which is at the intersection of Old Mill Road and Park Ave and ended up parking by an elementary school. It had snowed, it was cold and I prefer warm weather hiking but will do it in the cold and snow. The scenery was beautiful. However myself and the date that I wasn't sure was a date we didn't even make it a mile before we headed back. There was kissing involved with two middle aged people (glad I just made you throw up if you're reading this review) and I'll leave it at that and let your imagination go the rest of the way if you even want to dare. So today I came back before work to handle the hike by myself. I do hike with people sometimes but prefer to be alone in the woods. Sometimes but not always when I'm alone in the woods I come into some pretty hardcore life answers or ideas. I was in a rush to get through the loop as quickly as I could though before work so I didn't take the trail as slowly as I might have. I also got lost and missed the bridge to go over the lake and continue the loop trail, thankfully one of 4 fishermen I saw was able to give me directions. This trail is beautiful and amazing but there are certain parts where you don't have that lost in the woods feeling because of nearby highways, still it's an awesome somewhat easy trail to hit!

It was suggested that I write an Earth Day review of my favorite nature spot in my area, and Twin…read moreLakes easily wins the nod. It is only a dozen minutes from my front door, with easy street parking and good trails. While some parks, such as Belmont Lake, really shine during autumn, Twin Lakes is a joy in spring, with many things blooming and a new crop of water fowl. Walking along the north end of the lake, you come to a spot with a small waterfall that is perfect for keeping things in perspective. Plan ahead, because there are no restrooms here.

There are two sets of playgrounds and three swings area. One playground is for recommended ages 2-5 and the other is recommended ages 5-12. My daughter enjoys playing on the younger kids playground which has lots of easy climbing features, musical note chime, rocking bear, spinning leaves, steering wheels, a table, slides and other sensory items. The older kids' playground has more physically challenging equipment for them to climb and slide. For the swings there are regular swings, bucket swings for the young kids and even handicap swings. The park is very clean and maintained. The only annoying part probably are the lantern flies when it's that season they pop up. There are picnic tables to dine near by. The park also has a pool and trail, but I haven't checked those out. I like that the park has a big lot, so there is plenty of parking. We would recommend checking this park out.

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.

But they did great with what they've got and there are some beautifully maintained plants and trees. There is mini and regular sized golf available. I saw loads of benches and tables for picnics. There is also an ice-rink. To the back of the rink there are six basketball courts and three full courts with one entryway. There was a basket missing on my visit. Hopefully they'll sort this out before Summer Camp 2019. The signs around says no dogs but hey, look at that couple over there walking rover. Smh. Now you KNOW if the tables were turned I'd probably end up on social media. Dog Watch Dorothy would have surely called the cops on me. Smh again. If you're coming from the city, you'd need to get off at exit W2 W. I luuuurve this park and took many pics of their garden. The End.

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!

I typically go to Seamans neck park to run along the 1.5 mile "walk/run fitness trail". Parts of the concrete path are definitely in need of repair, but overall it's a good path. There are lights along the entire path but the majority of them have not been lit when I've gone at night- only the ones right near the turf field have been on. There's two walk-in entrances and one drive in entrance, and large parking lots- one near the playground and one near the fields/dock. There's a nice view of the water that's directly across from Jones Beach. I've seen people fishing here quite often. There are baseball fields and a t-ball field, soccer fields, and a multipurpose turf field that was completed a few years ago but is still in good condition. There's a large playground that's great for a wide age range of kids. There's a rock splash pad area that probably isn't the safest, I had my fair share of scrapes there. Growing up I used to come to the free summer long programs. They offered a huge variety of sports and crafts. It was usually the highlight of my summer.
