Bethpage Community Park – Just Opened

Bethpage Community Park – Just Opened – Under Construction

Bethpage Community Park is another park that has been closed for the past 2 years, since they were building an indoor ice skating rink for the park. Now that it is finally open, I have played on the tennis courts a few times, and have not really used any of the other facilities available here. The tennis courts are not in the worst shape, some cracks in the court, and 1 out of the 4 nets are down, but other than that it is really nice, since there is very little road noise, and pretty much have all the courts to your self. It will be really nice once they finish all of the construction on the park.

Syosset Woodbury Community Park

Syosset Woodbury Park – Jogging Trail, Tennis, Pool, Softball, Baseball, Basketball, Handball

I grew up in Syosset NY so I know Syosset / Woodbury park very well, and know everything about this park. I practically spent many of my entire summers at this very park. Now I visit there every so often, to either enjoy there beautiful mile jog to another small park located in Plainview, and to play some Tennis. The tennis courts are in perfect condition, no cracks, all fresh paint, immaculate really. They keep them in great shape. I love coming to this park and playing a good round of tennis on a nice summer day.

Canoeing at Oyster Bay Park - Theodore Roosevelt Park

Canoeing At Oyster Bay Park – aka Theodore, Teddy, Roosevelt Park

For my fathers birthday we enjoyed quite a day of canoing at the Oyster Bay park. They recently have added a facility to allow visitors to rent a Canoe from the park, and use it for a few hours. This is a great idea for any sort of family function, or if you just want to get out
of the house and get your sea legs wet. :-)

Tennis Court - Location - Rating - Review

Tennis Court - Location - Rating - Review

Bethpage Community Park - 8/10 - Has decent courts, there is one with out a net currently, since they are in re-construction mode, and one has a big crack, that was filled in with black tar, but still works. The plus of this court is that it is very private, and there is little to no noise pollutions, so you can enjoy a nice game, and probably wont have any competition to get the best court available.

Bethpage High School - 7/10 - Has pretty nice courts, and good players playing. The only downside to this great tennis court, is the road noise pollution, since the courts are directly next to a major road, that cars speed by 40-50 mph every few seconds.

Syosset High School - 8/10 - Has a good amount of nicely maintained tennis courts. Although they are highly used, not only by locals, but by the high school students as well, so getting a court may not be too easy. Plus there is some noise pollution from cars speeds down the parking lot separated road, although not too often, so makes for an enjoyable game, if you can get a court.

Syosset / Woodbury Community Park - 9/10 - Has a great private area with many courts. No sound pollution, usually not very crowded, and usually has good tennis players playing as well.
