    VERY nice park near my daughter and son-in-law. We took my grandson here for his VERY FIRST time on the swings and on a slide. This park had a lot of different slides to choose from, and his daddy took him on all of them. He wasn't too fond of the slides, but he loved being pushed on the swing. Soooooo cute. This park has a mini-golf area, a dog run, swimming, baseball fields, a marina, lots and lots of grass, picnic tables, and I know there's more, but I'm forgetting it now. It's actually a huuuuuuuuge park. I was quite impressed !

    This is a vast park that has nearly everything aquatic. That includes a swimming pool with big water slides, a marina to house hundreds of boats, boat launches, fishing areas and even a small beach. Although the park is mainly dog unfriendly there is dog run near the north end. The fence area along the bay is great for boat watching and people watching. There is plenty of parking. This is a wonderful resource for the Southside community.

    Pool, Picnic areas, Lake, Golf Course, Dog Run, Tennis, Hockey area and six Basketball courts in one full court. What's not to love? This park is huge and has many fields that are absolutely great for walks and even football (you call it soccer). The lake is at the very back (end) of the park. Impressive. The End.

    Very beautiful and spacious park! I went to play Pokémon Go & there were a ton of pokestops/gyms/raids. HOWEVER, there are a million lantern flys. Be prepared to swat & squish, they are not shy.

    Beautiful day!

    This park has so much to enjoy it's my sunshine go to park! Getting exercise in jogging along the water (there are stations if you choose) or a nice walk along the water. During this Pandemic - pool has been opened! Also the mini golf, playground is open and the picnic table are too. I see that all courts are open and the camp is set up for the kids too! Always a few people fishing and a lot of people just parking and relaxing in chairs - perfect for that! There's such a nice breeze and beautiful view. I took out the new to me bike today and got to go along the nice smooth path here to test it out :)

    I've completely forgotten that Wantagh Park existed until recently! It's a little sad. We all live on this beautiful, bustling, crazy crowded island but often forget to take a moment to really enjoy where we are.. Even for just a little bit! A little mindfulness goes a long way. The park is long and narrow and a little tricky to enter if you don't quite understand that it's just past the entrance for the parkway off of merrick road. Once you do have the entrance tricks up your sleeve you're welcomed with all sorts of amenities such as baseball fields, BBQ areas, dog run, a pool (paid I believe), docks and a short walking/bike path. It does lack some open space in areas but seems very purposely laid out that way so as not to waste the land. Just like most everything else on lawn guy land, it's surrounded by a parkway, houses and a bit of the water. Still, a great spot for a short romantic stroll by the marina during the warmer months. I think they kick the kiddos out of the pool by 6 so the only squawking you'll hear is the seagulls. Take a moment to smell the salty summer air. Ahhhh.. This park is worth enjoying.. Especially since it isn't as crowded as other south shore hot spots.

    Great park to picnic, take a stroll by the water, throw around a frisbee/ball, ogle the boats at the marina, look out over the water, etc. Generally well maintained. Also has baseball fields, a pool, tennis, and more. Expansive park and you can find your own little "corner" to hang out away from other groups. Diverse crowd.

    This is a really cool park, and it makes me wish we lived closer to it. It's on the water with a view of the Jones Beach theater (not close enough to hear or see whoever is performing there). There are a lot of benches and great walking paths. It seems fairly well maintained and kept clean. There is also a pool with a huge slide. There's a marina and also baseball fields that were recently redone. A lot of people seem to ride bikes on the paths, and they were just repaved. There's a good size area for barbecuing and picnicking and if it weren't a bit of a drive for us, we might actually do summer dinners there regularly. I love a good costal park or beach for an enjoyable picnic meal in the warm weather. It definitely worth a visit and a great place for a stroll, some family time and just to enjoy being outside.

    My favorite spot for my morning walk with my little one! Best views and so much to see and do. Water park open in the summer, along with a dog park and a playground. Baseball fields, marina, mini golf, and plenty of free space to have your own picnic at. Plenty of parking as well!

    There's different parking lots and there's also a mini golf course. There's a few public pools here.. if you're not a resident it's $20/person . . which isn't that bad at all, considering that it's super clean! I love the body of water (so nice on a hot summer day). You can sit by the rocks and enjoy the view or walk around the park. It's great for a picnic or an escape from busy NYC.

    See all
