LOVE the trails, and the beach and Pier area is beautiful as well. The Conference House itself is a wonderful, historic building that is lovely to visit. We have had many wonderful walks here and many more to look forward to!

Gorgeous grounds! Lovely trails and much beauty to be seen. Many types of wildlife and different types of ecosystems all in one huge park. Very relaxing and a great place to take a walk and unwind with nature.

My first time there and I can't imagine why I waited so long to go! A beautiful, well kept respite from the noise and hustle of Hylan Blvd. As you get deeper in, you can immerse yourself in nature and just enjoy some downtime. There is coastal area, woodlands, wetlands, a beautiful lake, and paved paths throughout. There is a picnic Pavillion right on the bluff that overlooks a stunning coastal view.

As a person who is physically challenged, I was pleasantly surprised at the accessibility of most areas. The only thing I found to be an issue, is that if you do walk the entire path in a loop, the only way back to the parking lot is unpaved. Either the woodland trail or the public "sidewalk" area will get you back, but they are both unpaved and difficult to navigate if you have any physical challenges. If you were to double back on the paved path, it is nearly a 2 mile walk back to your car. A paved path or an actual sidewalk outside the fence would be a great addition.

Overall, my husband and I LOVED MLUA, and plan on going back often.
