Sunken Meadow State Park

The 1,287-acre park stretches along three miles of Long Island Sound shoreline, featuring wooded hills, tidal flats, and a boardwalk near Nissequogue River.

The park's golf courses, designed by architect Alfred H. Tull in 1964, incorporate natural terrain elements without using topographical maps during construction.

The grounds host regular cross-country running competitions on a five-kilometer course that includes the notably steep Cardiac Hill section.

Visitors can access beach mobility mats and wheelchairs at Fields 1 and 3, while the main pavilion accommodates gatherings for up to 200 people.

The northern end of the 31-mile Long Island Greenbelt Trail connects Sunken Meadow State Park with Heckscher State Park through varied landscapes.
