Tips

• GREAT PLACE FOR A NICE WALK: When driving through the park, past Baseball Field # 6 (I think that's what # it was,) & towards the "Rose Garden" (which was closed when I went on a Sunday afternoon), there's a few sections to park there on the right side. You can see the "Lakeside Theater" in the middle of the field next to the lot. (It's an outdoor concert hall kind of thing & it's near the lake. Hence the name...) *There's a big map against the wall near that parking lot to browse where you'd like to go.* Walk into the park alongside the Lakeside Theater and there's a "Veteran's Memorial" there (towards the left depending on where you're coming from) which is very nice to walk through. (From the parking lot you can see a big tower which is right in middle of that memorial so you can walk towards taht area and you'll see it.) At one spot in the memorial area, there are steps leading down to the Lake which has a very nice path to walk all around it. Along that path on the other side of the lake is a nice "9/11 Memorial". Path is circular around the lake so it can bring you right back to the steps of the Veteran's Memorial. Nice pleasant walk!

• Its near West Hempstead so you can get Ice Cream at the Carvel there or eat at Wing Wong before or after the walk.
