I've only been here once, a few weeks ago, to run in a socially distanced Turkey Trot 5K. It was more of a trail run which offered some nice views and terrain to run on. Plenty of paths to run or bicycle on. Trail running seems to be big here with many routes through the wooded areas. Can't say much more since I left after I got my finisher medal and went home. It was Thanksgiving and I had to get ready to feast!

Plus it wasn't in the constant sun so that was nice too.

The playground, however, was closed during COVID-19. My husband and I were there to enjoy our lunch from the Pita Station, which is located just few blocks away.

It served as an elementary school until two new elementary schools were built in Manhasset and it became a park in the late 1980s. It is the site of most major Manhasset public events including Christmas Tree lighting, Memorial Day and 9/11 ceremonies. Weddings take place in the gazebo occasionally. The children's playground is very popular every day. It is in the center of town by Town Hall, the LIRR station, restaurants and shops. Many people sit there to have a cup of coffee, watch the children play, see their neighbors, or watch the world go by.

Hi Your park is beautiful but…read moreI was at the field for the first time yesterday and will be back as my grandson is playing in the HOT STOVE baseball league. Your field by the refreshment stands and the bathroom needs ALOT of work. The dirt was blowing all over in the wind as the dirt is so dry and has not been watered. Dirt needs to be harrowed and watered and taken care of . There are huge wholes in the batters box and catchers position that need to be filled in and harrowed and flattened down. Please look into this asap. Thank you Gene Albin 917-682-1022 galbin@tvrc.com

With three softball fields, it's basically built for tournaments and pick-up games. Parking was a breeze--lots right by each field, and since it was after Labor Day, no parking fee (pro tip: fees kick back in on Memorial Day). We set up a BBQ and picnic next to the first field. There are plenty of picnic tables and benches, plus some coal grills. But fair warning: the grills are pretty rough, so if you're serious about grilling, definitely bring your own. The softball area itself is perfect for family gatherings, company outings, or just a fun weekend with friends. Good energy, lots of space, and an easy setup for hanging out while cheering on a game. Can't speak for the rest of the park, but this section is definitely a win.

The desperation of the water turtles causes anguish to witness. No natural light to speak of. To think they are a few glass doors away from their natural habitat and they can't get out. The lethargy from the staff is equally disturbing as they sit behind the desk with these poor creatures just feet away. Have we learned nothing from Finding Nemo for goodness sake?

Go to ny.gov keyword: Empire Pass. The same Pass can be used for unlimited visits at most parks and beaches throughout the State of New York. I passed by here on Memorial Day weekend. In plain view was a Park Police vehicle, so I felt safe. I also saw several people riding in a paddle boat. How fun! There are multiple clearly marked trails, which are great places to ride your bike or walk. There were several people feeding the ducks and geese in the lake, ignoring the signs that warn them not to do that. The two children's playgrounds are quite spacious, and leashed dogs are allowed. There are lots of picnic benches and huge tables. The restrooms have a lot of stinky toilets. Staff needs to clean them more often. Finally, BEWARE OF DEER TICKS! A few people said that they saw some, so bring some tick repellent.
