I found this park by accident during my afternoon walk. It's a nice park that spans about 2 blocks…read more It offers basketball courts, a baseball field, soccer field, and a walkway path. It's also situated near a lake that offers nice, serene views. Parking lots and bathrooms are available.

Very nice park. Fields for soccer, basketball courts, children park and beautiful lake. Seating…read more Clean bathrooms.

This lake is pretty awesome with $8 parking. There is plenty of space to grill and benches to sit…read more There is also a playground for the kids to enjoy. There is a huge lake where people do swim in even tho you are advised not to. I like to soak my feet in since the water is pretty warm during the summer.

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 :)

I go to Valley Stream Park for early morning walks, no music, no headphones , just me and my…read morethoughts and the sound of nature. The surrounding area is nice and calm. Often times, I meet my friends, if they can't make it I feel safe walking alone. Safety officers are visible and Nassau County PD conduct tours. The bike lane and lane for walkers are respected by both. The restroom are clean. There is two kiddy parks and BBQ area. The park is a good way to clear my mind and get mine steps in. The tree lines paths are beautiful during the change of season.

It was an average park from the time of the creation of the Parkway system on Long Island. It…read moremostly comes across as a basic park and picnic grounds in which you can BBQ or Picnic. It's pretty because the picnic areas are largely under a canopy of old growth trees and there is a very mild and modest nature trail which traverses the front of the park to the rear entrance. Satisfying tiny stream feature on one of the two trails through the park. Possibly Valley Stream where the park is located.

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.

Visit Date: December 11, 2020…read more I've been to this park so many times this year. I work near the park and since Covid hit I've been attending nightly AA meetings here with my dad until more in person meetings open up. I've also bought my son here to play. The park has many options, a small nature trail and lake to walk on. I've found my first and only geocache so far here. Two playground sessions, a basketball and handball court. For my first visit during my lunch break today because I'm going later for a meeting I went into the office to drop off letters to Santa that my son and my nephew wrote. There's an ice skating rink as well. It's a pretty decent sized park. If you want a park with many options this is one to check out.

I like this park. It's at the end of a dead end street and there is plenty of parking. The first…read morething you hit is the parking lot actually. It's a very complete and modern park. I don't use them but there are plenty of sporting areas to use. Tennis, soccer, baseball and I believe there are even indoor basketball courts. There's a playground for the kids as well as an area to BBQ with tables and benches as well as grills already there. There's also a lake here and a trail that goes not quite around the lake or the park but it's a decent trail. I always see folks fishing here as well.

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!!
