A very beautiful park, great for a relaxing walk or jog. Great photo opportunities. Always an enjoyable visit.
One of my favorite parks to go for a walk or to take photos! Been going since my kids were babies
It's a beautiful park open from dawn to dusk. Parking is behind the post office and can be a little tight, so it's usually easier to park along the street (so long as you don't park in the two spots set aside for the post office). There are two paths. The first is paved, goes around the pound, and is about 0.4 miles long. The second involves an unpaved portion that goes around a forested and protected area and, when added to the pond path, is 0.8 miles long.
This was our first time at Frank Melville Memorial Park. We walked around the park, met let’s of pleasant people with well behaved dogs walking on leash & met a bird watching group looking for a certain type of bird. Nice way to end our day. Pretty place to take photos of your four legged babies too.
One of my go to places for local birding. Great park, leisurely walking trails and on a good day you can easily score fifteen or twenty bird species. The resident mute swans are always around.
This is one of my favorite parks on Long Island. While not very big (clocking in at approximately 0.5 miles for the entire loop around), it is still beautiful and has a lot of wildlife to observe. You can see deer, several different bird species (a lot of bird watchers frequent this park), turtles (I once saw a snapping turtle), fish, etc. I'm always amazed at how many animals I see in this park. It is usually quiet with not a lot of foot traffic. It's a great place to do some photography. There are several benches spread throughout the trail for you to sit and relax on. There are some back trails that extend beyond the pond which I've ventured onto once or twice but never really figured out how far they go. Fishing is prohibited but you'll occasionally see people casting a line. I really like this park because it seems like its been undisturbed for so many years. It's very tranquil and my go to spot for photography and a walk.
We had such a nice walk around the lake with our family and had the chance to meet a lot of people who frequent the area with their dogs. The weather was great and we will return in the future. Lots of cool, historic artifacts and buildings in the area. Convenient parking lot behind the post office. Be careful of traffic when you cross the street and bring bug spray for the gnats.
Pretty place with half mile paved loop around small lake. Dogs are welcome! There's also a small wooded area.
