Nice park with a hiking trail that go all the way up to Belmont Lake. Nice fishing area but heavily pressured. Witnessed two girls doing a clean up. Great work ladies!

Beautiful scenery and pretty smooth parts of the trail for roller skating! A lot of the path is too bumpy for it but between sunrise and where you end up next to bethpage parkway is great.

One of my favorite places to bike ride. Not challenging or long. Shady and cool in the summer. Very pretty especially in Summer and Fall.

Hidden gem of a nature trail for hiking. Benches in several spots. Pond is peaceful to look at. Great way to unwind and decompress from a stressful day.

I grew up playing in these woods. Very safe. Some good trails to walk through. You can walk from argyle park north all the way to Belmont park through the trails. There is an equestrian center about halfway through so you may see some horses. Nice to ride a mountain bike in.

There isnt a great deal here, however it is a beautiful spot to walk, run, ride your bike, or just relax and enjoy nature.Dogs are allowed. (On leash.) Motorized vehicles are not.Some people come here to fish. Some fly model airplanes.Most people just come to enjoy the natural beauty.Bring your camera! :)

Review №61

Very nice trails- easy to walk, run or bike. The only frustrating things are that a lot of people don’t clean up after their dog or leash their dog! dogs are frequently running up to my dog who is luckily good with other dogs. I know people with blind dogs or dogs who are not good with other dogs in their face who can’t walk the trails with their leashed dogs because other people are too irresponsible to leash their dog. I really wish they would enforce things here so everyone can enjoy the trails

Im giving this 4 stars because its a very nice place for families with young kids to explore. Also a great park for runners, walkers, etc...but I withheld a star due to the amount of garbage along the trail. This trail needs a community clean up day.

Review №78

Southards pond is one of the best bits of nature in the area and the trails go for several miles north toward Belmont, so you can stay in the wooded setting for as long as you need. There is a little garbage around, and names are sometimes scrawled on trees with spray paint or knives, but on LI we cant really have nice things. Still one of the best parks around.
