Valley Stream State Park

Valley Stream State Park is a recreational space on Long Island with sports fields, playgrounds, and walking trails for different activities. The park spans a large area and includes facilities designed to serve both children and adults throughout the year.

This park was created in the 1920s as part of New York State's plan to build recreational areas near residential neighborhoods. The effort made it possible for families in Nassau County to have easy access to open spaces.

The nature trails here serve as learning paths where visitors discover Long Island's native plants and animals through walking. Local families regularly use these routes to understand the landscape that surrounds their homes.

The park opens at sunrise and closes at sunset throughout the year, with vehicle entry fees that change by season. Plan your visit during warmer months when all trails and facilities are fully accessible.

The park features an outdoor fitness trail with around 15 exercise stations spread along a half-mile path. This route lets visitors combine physical activity with a nature walk in a single visit.
