Little known fact... Valley Stream is home to more parks and green spaces than almost any other village in Nassau County. And if you like parks, Hendrickson is a must see! Something for everyone...pond with fountains, beautiful cherry blossoms, willows by the stream, memorial path with seating for quiet relaxation, tennis courts, bike paths, walking/jogging, plenty or geese and other birds, a young children's playground, circuit training on the trail, and walking/biking acces to Valley Stream State Park. When visiting, please remember... take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints. Bonus - Plan your visit on Sunday during hours the Pagan Fletcher House is open for tours. It is located just outside the park on the north end and can share a wealth of Valley Stream history... including pictures of when the pond at Hendrickson Park was a beach!

This is indeed one of the best and well-kept parks in all of Long Island, possibly in all of New York! Lots of exercise stations and running trails for people to jog and work out daily, a playground for parents to take their families, and a wonderful pool that is open during the summer at its entrance! There are also places to play basketball and tennis as well as a senior center for local residents! Lots of ducks gather here too around the beautiful pond (which seems almost more like a small lake), and lots of cozy places to enjoy the sun outside with friends and family, as well as to have picnics or simply lay back and read a book! Usually very safe, convenient and open to all people! And only a few min away from the nearby restaurants such as the cheap Chinese buffet and the stores!

This park is simply beautiful with trees 🌳 and a gorgeous lake. There is a trail where you can walk, jogg, run or ride your bike. I noticed a beautiful thing. I saw an elderly lady with her walking stick on the trail enjoying the fresh air. There lots of benches so u can sit down at any time and relax enjoying the spectacular view of the lake. There are security patrolling the area so its pretty safe. Great area for peace of mind. The park is very active meaning people are getting their exercise in.

Great park for a walk, run, bike etc. with a lake and cool greenery. They have many benches too. There's a pool that's access to Valley Stream residences only I believe and public bathrooms to use. Full path is around 1.5 miles long and the shorter loop is about 1 mile. There is nice shade on one side of the path from the trees.

Beautiful, safe place to watch unbelievable sunsets... great, friendly people and relax any time of the day. Grab a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, fruit, or whatever you prefer and enjoy nature's most amazing views. Besides, walk around the lake, and that will complete your Physical and mental health treatment for the day.
