Mount Loretto Unique Area

I love to walk and take a photo over there. It’s clean and safe.

I think Google Maps should partner up with New York State Parks to make them more navigable for New Yorkers and tourists alike. Also, there is a lot of history here that is not mentioned on the kiosks.

Lovely area with plenty of trails to explore, birdwatch or enjoy with your dog! There are accessible paved trails, but also non-paced ones that are harder to manage. One trail leads to the Princess Bay Lighthouse. Lots of birds, groundhogs and turtles. May have spotted an eagle! No swimming at the beach. Plenty of parking, but did not see any bathroom area/s. Free.

Very big park.. I loved walking there .. it was hot so make sure to put sunscreen ..

Amazing place. Very neat, pleasure to explore

Enjoy Staten Island wildlife, plants and views 🌅 . Perfect for a nature stroll, it has paved paths and also woody trails I love walking and biking here all the way to the hill.

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.

I love coming here, so beautiful and easy trails. Great place to go walking with children or dogs. The parking lot can fill up quickly on nice days, so be mindful. The beach offers a great view, and the staff manning the park is very friendly.

One of the best parks on the island. Great for waking, running, biking, bird watching and even a picnic. There are even decent hiking trails that are short but pleasent. The views are great and it's very very well maintained. The only issue is that the parking lot is small and it gets busy on nice days.
