Valley Stream Recreation Department — Attraction in Town of Hempstead

The park is wonderful. It is nicely kept and there are some nice facilities such as a plaground..a pool...and some nice walking paths.

There is a gazebo and a an attractive fountain.

Once a year the local fire department sets up a traveling carnival as a fundraiser. It is well attended by many community members.

Some people who are new to the area or who are simply passing through should note that the park is not part of the State park...although they are separate entities they are both very nice.

One last thing...if you want to enter the pool complex you will need to show ID. They only admit residents...

I've been a member of their pool club for the last decade. Great set up for all different ages, from baby pools, sprinkle park, Olympic pool to senior section, free water aerobics classes are included In the price of membership, including aqua Zumba. Best of all, they hire the absolute best life guards. They are always on point and do a great job. Makes me feel that my kids are...

The valley stream pool is beautiful, the parking lot is free with plenty of spots in the summer time. The grounds of the pool are clean and spacious, they have the main pool a lap pool a kiddie pool and a splash park. They are great with social distancing and sanitation. There snack bar is also very good and average prices they carry everything from drinks to ice cream, burgers...
