Best trail in NYC hands down. I have been running here for over 10 years and have not experienced a better trail in NYC.Upvote10Downvote
amNewYorkSeptember 29, 2011At 538 acres, there's hardly an activity you can't do here. The sports complex has a running track, handball court and baseball fields. There is also an 18-hole golf course and nature trails.Upvote16DownvoteUpvoted Feb 17- Ina LiNovember 9, 2015Beautiful foliage and a great getaway from the city! Discover the LIRR train tracks there

Nice little hidden gem in the Kew gardens area. Make sure to stay on the paths otherwise you stumble upon trash left behind by teenagers (condoms, beer cans, the works...)Upvote1Downvote
