MY FAVORITE PARK, by FAR, in NASSAU COUNTY, LONG ISLAND! I have Posted Photos and Rated “Gerry Park”, last Fall. It is large, beautiful, and has Multiple Gorgeous Ponds and Open Spaces... as well as, Magnificent Trees, Plants and Walk-Bridges!

Because, even before this Beautification Project, the Park is STUNNINGLY Beautiful...

And the soothing sounds of the trickling stream just makes for such a lovely walk. This park really makes all my senses happy, especially during sunset where the breathtaking sunset lights up the whole park. p/s how thoughtful to have doggy bags all...
