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.

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!

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.

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. .

Plenty of shaded areas to stay out of the direct sunlight. The park has a little library as well to borrow or leave books. My daughter had a lot of fun at the park and we would consider returning.

The event was part of the "Music Under the Stars" series and free to the public through sponsors of the Town of Oyster Bay. The show was titled "The Beat Goes On - A Cher Tribute," 5 Stars to Lisa. She did a good job with songs, stories, a screen of clips, while she delayered clothing for the next segments and songs she perfomed. In the movie Burlesque also with the amazing Christina Aguilera, Cher got her dream of acting and singing.The song "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" got much recognition. While no one else can be Cher they say, copy is the sincerest form of flattery. Cher being amazing in all of her abilities in song and movies; A birthday in May and shes - how old? shhh. So, what's she doing now? Working on a new album and writing her memoir. The Audience that night was rather quiet, yet there were definate fans and followers. She did not say oh hey I'm LIsa she said Hi I'm Cher. It was kind of fun to allow poetic license to give the shared affect that Cher was there with you .

Besides that, I will be looking to go to more concerts in the park for the future.
