Marine Nature Study Area
Nature preserve
👍👍 A little hidden gem in Oceanside to go to if you want to walk and bird watch. It’s peaceful and the scenery is beautiful. It’s never busy when I visit but there’s always photographers trying to capture the best pictures of the wildlife. They’re usually very knowledgeable and friendly so don’t mind t...

Massapequa Preserve
Hiking area
👍👍 A great way to spend a few hours walking amidst nature yet not have to worry about tripping - 6.3 miles “there and back” from the parking lot at Mansfield Park over to Massapequa Lake and back. Hardly any elevation - great for a long stroll with the creek giving you company for most of it.

Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt Trail
Hiking area
😐 A respite from the hustle and bustle that abounds Nassau County.
It has paved trails and gravel/dirt trails.
The ponds between Clark and Linden Street need some serious removal of invasive species and native as well; as the ponds are barely accessible for viewing or fishing.
It’s a pleasant place fo...

Rev. Arthur Mackey Sr. Park
Park
👍 Seems like a pretty good little park. There is a nice pond with lots of ducks and geese. There are benches along the path, not very good for anything but walking though. It looks like i missed the northern half of the park that has more of a trail, I'll have to go back and check out that part.
