Crocheron Park — Attraction in New York

Great neighborhood park. With different types of terrain. From pathed walkways to upslope, downslopes, over looking Littleneck bay facing Cross Island Pkway. There is a children playground by an elementary school. Overall, people are nice and keeping the park cleaned. There is a lake down the hill where many wildlife can be seen all year around. Cooper's hawks, red-tailed hawks, Osprey, warblers, herons of a few species. There is a mini trail around the lake that you will feel so relax walking along the path. There are some erosion going on and the park or volunteering group keep the maintainence as best as they can. Planks were lay down around muddy areas. The bathrooms are by the large parking lot next to Tennis Courts. Nice little gems here...

It's a large green space, with lots of trees & a filthy pond. It has some great trees, but it had better ones 50 yrs ago. Unfortunately, it is very poorly maintained by the park Dept. But, still, it serves as a good place to take a walk. The sports fields are too numerous, & the players make lots of noise. However, they are only a problem on weekends. It offers great potential, but it is being allowed to disintergrate by the DeBlasio administration. Beam, Dinkins, Koch, & Guiliano, also neglected the parks. Bloomberg recognize that they existed, but that...
