Outdoors
My family calls it "the ducks and geese park" for evident reasons. It's a convenient place to walk, run, or kick a ball around. There's a pond, benches, and picnic tables. A botanical garden is open during the spring and summer. There's also a playground. (The spray park is only open to residents of the Town of Babylon.)

This lovely beach with a boardwalk is only 20 minutes away! You can stop at the Commack Walmart or ShopRite for picnic supplies on your way with barely a detour. There is an $8 fee for each vehicle, but check the website for the days and hours that's required.
