You need to pay for parking unless you have Empire Pass. I completely the Hoffa and Aspen loop trail in an hour and 11 minutes. The AllTrails app was needed for navigation since the loop contained some mud, sand, and unmarked trails. However, it was overall a moderate trail to follow. Highly recommend!

This is a great trail for running and biking; around Farmingdale it could use some repaving, but otherwise it serves its purpose. Lately, a few suspicious people have been wandering in the woods aimlessly around the Plainview-Bethpage area, seemingly loitering (not recreating) so I have been staying on the road-path mostly and since there’s usually a good number of people it seems safer and I don’t use earbuds. Be careful out there! (The path stops at the Massapequa Preserve but you can easily connect to Jones Beach from Merrick Road, which adds a significant distance for endurance athletes.)

Great park with tons of trails for all skill levels. We love bringing out dog after work and on weekends!

For years I have walked in front of this park. Until I was able to talk to its workers that it is national, it is good to know.

Bethpage is a beautiful State Park on Long Island. It had a playground, a good facility, picnic area, and hiking trails. It is particularly beautiful in the Fall when the leaves are changing. It's a great respite from the fast pace of the island.

Beautiful, serene, well kept park. We love to bring our little ones to the playgrounds, which are pretty awesome - makes me wish I was there size so I could get in on the action. There are also biking/hiking trails, a baseball field, a large lawn, picnic area with barbecues - and more. Of course, the other way, you have the golf course with the world renown Bethpage Black Course.

Kids had great fun at the park playground. Playing at those inflatable bouncers are free and there are staff monitoring the kids which were really awesome! I can see there are also other outdoor courts for basketball volleyball etc. but we didn’t get a chance to try. Parking is easy and numerous picnic or bbq places. It’s our first time there but apparently it’s very popular- lots of people are having get-together there when we arrived.

This place was an excellent spot to have fun with family especially young kids. The jungle gym is very intricately designed for maximum fun. My 5 year old son had a great time swinging and sliding and climbing and running around and spinning and bouncing and generally having an outstanding time. He said he likes this park even more than the one at Domino Park in Williamsburg!! I was like whoa but that one was best on earth I thought. No this one, he said.
The reason this park gets 4 stars is because they failed the most basic trait of any park, let alone a STATE park: the 3 water fountains in walking distance from the playground that I found were all not working. How pathetic. The facilities such as the bathroom were working, including the machine taking money for parking. But not water fountains which are essential for life. I mean come on New York State what’s the issue? Why can’t you fix the water fountains??
Other than that a very nice visit with the family!!😁
