Grant Park — Attraction in Town of Hempstead

This is an amazing place to go on a run, workout, do yoga, have a picnic, or just take a nice walk. Grant Park has a big lake in the back and the scenery is amazing!

If you want a park with many options this is one...

Really nice space, with a great view of the pond.

Gazebo with seating is convenient, but it's old and seemingly uncared for. Both playgrounds near the pond are very old and probably unsafe. There's rust everywhere, and even broken equipment with visibly shoddy repairs. (Note: The worst example of this is actually the toddler playground) That said, my kid's all love the place! So, enjoy, but enter at...
