Wolfe's Pond Park — Attraction in New York

Beach, woods, dog park, tennis courts, basketball courts, playground, walking / jogging paths and a roller hockey rink. For Staten Island, or even for NYC this is definitely one of the nicer parks. Lucky to have a place like this so close to home, you would expect to find parks like this in NJ, but considering it's in NYC, it's got to be one of the nicest there is in this city.

Around dusk we were cooking up ribs and chicken and listening to the Mets game on a transistor radio. It was heaven. I love Wolfes Pond Park and have enjoyed it many times ever since that one...

This park has a lot in one place. 2 playgrounds for the kids - 1 by the pond and 1 by the sports courts overlooking the beach 1 hockey rink, never used but I would imagine good enough for teens & under 1 fenced in tennis court Multiple basketball courts in 1 large fence, refinished with a couple of benches 2 dog runs/attached - separate entrances. One larger and one much smaller 1 Short finished trail about 1 mile or less leaking from dog tryin back to playing area 1 Open field for picnics or running around 1 exercise area with outdoor machines 1 BBQ field 1 Wolf Pond Multiple hiking trails - tbh never walked then so I can't speak for them. 1 bathroom - park hours 1 bathroom - Beach hours 3 different parking lots Beech - Not really a fan of the shore line as the sand has clay like staining properties. Still nicer for a walk or sitting...
