Gosh I just LOVE this park. I used to canoe here on the regular and I really miss it lately. I rode…read morehere the other day on my bike and just basked in the peaceful glory that is Milbourn Creek Park. On a quiet day, you can see fish literally jumping out of the water.. how cool is that?! It seems to be quite the interesting park, with activity randomly converging from all directions. You have folks pulling over for a short respite, bikers emerging out of the nearby trail, the occasional lay fisherman near the bridge and boaters loading or unloading for the day. It's really a special slice of calm along the busy Atlantic Ave.

Very picturesque park with tall grass and a river running through it. Very quiet park in an…read moreresidential neighborhood. Also found out from the sign that dogs aren't allowed here. Nice long winding paved trail for an easy walk

I attended the free 2 hr pickleball clinic in Baldwin Harbor Park, located in in The Town of…read moreHempstead. It was my first time playing, and I took to it like a duck to water. We played doubles, and my partner and I won the game against the other two players. Points are scored only when the serving team wins a rally, and I am a good server. I learned fast how to make the ball hit the court in front the blue line, which is known as the kitchen. Elvis, the head coach, was thorough in his explanation of the fundamentals of the game. We practiced our skills with our peers, getting feedback from the coach that was assigned to our court. There was a coach for each of the eight courts, and each court had four players. I learned the rules of the game and how to score. The goal is to keep the ball out of the kitchen. You can only volley outside the kitchen. The class lasted approximately two hours, and we all had fun. I will definitely be back to take more classes. Go to "Hempsteadny.gov keyword: pickleball lessons" if you are interested in learning this highly popular game. ADVISORY: Coach Elvis said that classes registered for online usually fill up within 15 minutes, and summer registration begins on 6/3/2025.

I loved the preserve but they don't maintain the trails but it is very swampy but I really like itread more

Visit Date: March 16, 2021…read more I just literally moved back to my dad's house yesterday after filing for divorce in September took me a long time but I'm finally back in a good spot as far as living situation goes. I've been addicted to nature so badly lately like needing a nature fix or two each day even if I only get to stop for 10 minutes. This morning my first morning bringing my son to school from Baldwin to Babylon and starting my first work day with later hours was a little hectic but I was able to duck into this preserve for a quick escape from the daily grind for about 15 minutes. This trail looks bad ass. It's not overly maintained, I'm suspecting there's a lot of night activity. There's graffiti but I can dig that on a trail. There's litter which I do not dig, destroying nature isn't cool. I can't wait to explore this trail more since it's my new home trail to run it and to hike it and see as many nooks and crannies as I possibly can! I'm happy to have a nature escape relatively close to home as well.

I say that because it 5pm on a gorgeous 80 degree Saturday and there were only a handful of people there! The ones that were there however were definitely taking advantage of all the awesomeness it has it offer. There is a nice little dog park, pier areas for fishing, basketball courts, fields, and even pickle and tennis. I really liked the tennis courts, especially how empty they were! They were so empty in fact that there were two friends using them as a roller rink! I think I'll come back here soon with a bunch of friends and spend the afternoon playing pickleball, fishing and bbqing!

They had a very large commercial sized fridge/ freezing for your food. All tables were out but if you needed more they were very accessible. We paid in full in advance, we chose to pay for everyone's parking which we paid for at the end. Very easy. The girls loved riding the carousel a million times! Only draw back it's there is no AC abs barely breathable fans. Very hot. Would do it again :)

Grew up coming to this park to play basketball straight after highschool sometimes with friends…read more There's not much change with the basketball courts since then and a lot of the paint has worn off but people still frequent it. It seems the rest of the park's activities have been upgraded though, such as the kids' apparatus, new and fresh pickleball courts, clean tennis courts and such. The structure of the park is organized and great for the large space. On hot days, there's plenty of shade with trees. The public pool here is large and fun! There is bugs often just as fyi and you need to look online to make sure it's open. There's so much to do here with the different activities!!! Cant wait to see more improvements!!

My favorite is the 8 new pickleball courts shared with tennis courts but the primary use is for pickleball. The courts are lighted for nighttime play and always gets a good crowd. Other activities are as follows: Racquetball Courts Basketball Courts Jogging paths Pool Indoor ice rink Baseball field Playgrounds Dog park Archery There may be more activities available but these are the ones I noticed and have made use of. Staff is terrific. They keep the park clean and maintain the facilities.
