Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park

Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park is a public park along the Oyster Bay waterfront that offers green spaces, walking trails, and recreational areas for visitors. The grounds extend along the water's edge and include designated spots for outdoor activities, picnicking, and leisure.

The park was established after Roosevelt's death in 1919 to honor his conservation work and strong connection to the Oyster Bay area. This founding reflected the community's deep appreciation for his contributions to protecting nature and land.

The park honors Roosevelt through interpretive displays and events that show his role in conservation history. Visitors discover these lessons while walking through the grounds and understand why this place was chosen to remember his legacy.

The park is accessible year-round and offers picnic tables, restroom facilities, and wide paths that are easy for most visitors to navigate. Plan your visit keeping weather in mind, as winter offers fewer amenities and spring and fall are generally the best times.

The park sits next to Sagamore Hill, Roosevelt's summer home, offering a unique view of both his private and public life in one location. This proximity allows visitors to explore his personal spaces and public legacy together.
