Reviews
Nice park, very well kept. Squirrels think they’re better than you. Chipmunks are usually drunk. Weird park workers bathe in the pond. 5 stars
This is one of the most serene peaceful safe parks I personally feel in Staten Island. I will say however right now as I’m writing this, the bathrooms are still not fixed or done. They use those outside latrines. Definitely hoping that this will be rectified by next spring. But so beautiful this park is. With its historic carousel, the beautiful lake and the ducks the park that you’re allowed to have parties in and barbecue as well as the dog run in the morning all the way in the back which turns into an archery range in the afternoon. Beautiful beautiful park.
A really nice park having a pretty long trail with a giant lake, playgrounds, baseball fields, an iconic carousel, grills with benches and so much more which is overall great.
Only free archery and crossbow range in the city. Bring your own gear, be respectful of others and careful so we can all have a good time. They have some tables with benches, but could probably use a few more.
