Beautiful walking paths, great athletic fields for softball, volleyball, basketball, and more, and multiple playground areas for kids. Add in the tons of picnic tables and pavilions spread out across the park and you can't beat it! A gem in the NYS Parks system.

Considering I have lived here for almost 20 years, I better give it 5 stars!…read moreFloral Park, or "Flo P" as I like to call it, is truly a wonderful village to live and raise a family. No family you say? Well then you get to enjoy on of the dozen or so bars located within the confines of this petite 1.1 square mile oasis. There truly are great restaurants to be found here. Villa D'Este, Stella's, Torigo (my favorite), Trinity, and Jameson's. For a small town it packs a big punch when it comes to wining and dining. If you're ever in the Flo P, and need some pointers, don't hesitate to ask me.

Definitely not the cleanest pond as there are times where there is trash in the pond itself. I work…read morenearby so sometimes I'll stop there on a lunch break to read a book. The birds and ducks are always cute so that is one plus. There is supposed to be a walking trail, but I tried walking it a couple of times to find it quite short and not much of a trail. There is a playground as well, but I have no experience with that part of the pond. And if you sit at the benches near the parking lot, chances you'll catch second hand cigarette smoke from the old guys who sit in their cars all day most days.

This park is going to ruin. It used to be beautiful with fantastic plants anf blooming trees. But…read morelately the upkeep of this park is horrendous. They still have spacious basketball and paddle ball courts, buy the park itself in the back is abominable, with overgrown weeds and torn up equipment. This is a shame esp since no one goes beyond the kids area. I've been working out in this area lately and also noticed that all the park openings ate locked during park hours, specifically Crans, Goblin and Keil streets. I've been to many town parks in Hempstead and cannot understand why these are closed. Another issue is that the one opening into this park is a driveway access, which makes it dangerous for pedestrian traffic. This park has an opening for pedestrians but again this is another point into the park that is locked. I wish I could give a negative 5.
