Eisenhower Park, Urban park in East Meadow, New York, US.
Eisenhower Park is a large public park in East Meadow featuring three golf courses, sports facilities, walking trails, and an aquatic center. The grounds also include numerous areas for picnicking and outdoor activities.
The land began as a country club before being converted to a military base during World War I. It became a public park in 1969 and was named after President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The park holds the Nassau County September 11th Memorial featuring two steel towers and pieces of wreckage from the World Trade Center. Visitors come to this site to pay respects to those lost.
The park has multiple entrances and parking areas located along Hempstead Turnpike on the south and Old Country Road on the north. Different sections are more accessible depending on the time of day and the activities you plan to enjoy.
