    Bike path in Bloomingdale Park. (06/15/05)
    Alevtina V.

    Staten Island's newest park is located in Woodrow. Bloomingdale Park's 138 acres are bordered by Ramona Avenue to the north, Lenevar Avenue to the east, Drumgoole Road W to the south, and Bloomingdale Road to the west. Much of area was preserved and remains habitable by wildlife. (There are birds of all sorts singing in the trees and woodland bunnies hopping along the trails.) The rest of it, though, was reserved for recreational use. Among the hiking and bike trails that currently exist, Bloomingdale Park is home to a baseball field, softball field, soccer field, basketball courts, and a playground with sprinklers and swings. There's also a bocce court. When this park first opened a few years ago, it was very deserted. You would see the occasional parent pushing his/her kid on the swing and the lone bicyclist barreling down the trails. Now, cars are always parked along Maguire Avenue (which cuts into the park from the north and south, never quite coming together to dissect it) and the adjacent streets. You're never alone when you're on the trails and the kids always have someone to run around with. There are also community events posted on a bulletin board, so you can always find something to do. This place has really come alive as of late, showing that such a lush park is just what this neighborhood needed. (Up until it was built, there were no ballfields on Staten Island south of Richmond Avenue.)

    Love our neighborhood playground!! It features different sections for different age groups consisting of age-appropriate slides, monkey bars, swings and a children's play area. I took my girls around out of the playground area and we took a walk down the trail. Absolutely gorgeous and calming at the same time. The girls rode their scooters freely while I pushed my little one in her car bike. Perfect place for the kiddies!

    Nice park good play area. Nice fields where son plays football.They have special events in the summer time. Alot better than wolfs pond which has gotten full of obnoxious people. Throw in semi clean bathroms and this place is a winner!

The Narrows dividing Upper and Lower New York Bay were the best spot to position those military efforts and the Fort Wadsworth complex on northeastern Staten Island was selected to build those primary fortifications. As we know, the British occupied New York City and Staten Island early in the Revolutionary War. The Reds were aware of the value of this locale, but did not fear the fledgling American Navy. It was not until after independence that our weak central government began to take steps to utilize the area for defense of what became our most important harbor. First sandstone, later granite, were set to allow over 200 cannon to be placed facing the lower harbor to repel invaders. The War of 1812 and the Civil War saw the most activity and growth, until Fort Wadsworth was the largest and most formidable redoubt on the Atlantic seaboard. By the early 20th Century coastal defenses were no longer relevant due to the firepower on ships and the birth of the modern Air Force. Today, the fort has been decommissioned and become part of the Gateway National Recreation Area run by the National Park Service. The 226 acres bracketing the north end of the Verrazano Bridge is now a great place to walk, explore the old naval station and see a spectacular view of Lower Manhattan from the promontory facing Upper New York Harbor that sits directly under the bridge. This whole stretch of eastern Staten Island is mostly deserted in winter, making an ideal time to visit and allow your imagination to run wild with how different this spot was earlier in our national history. I have driven over the VNB hundreds of times, remarked on the fantastic view of city and harbor from the steel span, but never realized Fort Wadsworth was there beneath me. I guess getting onto the Belt Parkway required all my attention. Now that I know and have visited its historic granite walls, I will at the very least acknowledge its stony presence and tip my cap in passing to thank all who served there in defense of our young nation.
