Robert Moses State Park Field 3 — Attraction in Town of Babylon

Park has some managment issues right now, particularly with traffic patterns on bridges. Can take 20 minutes or 2 hours to drive from the mainland depending upon what "strategy" they have implemented. Today was 1 hour 50 minutes on the bus from Babylon Train station to Field 3 at Robert Moses on a particularly busy Sunday. Closing lanes and diverting traffic as was done today is not helpful. Furthermore, complete lack of proper policing on roads led to dangerous and recklees driving on the shoulder of the road and a lot of unnecessary slow downs. Suggest implementing better road management and perhaps even tolls to cut down on car volume and increase funding for an expanded bridge. Increase incentives for public transportation usage. MTA is charging more this year but service is worse.

They were so sweet and attentive to my 5 year old niece, and let her sit with them while they made beaded bracelets. All in all a...
