Long Island Press Calls Eisenhower Park Tops on Long Island The Long Island Press has named Eisenhower Park the top park on Long Island in its annual ?Best of L.I.? survey, announced Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi. The ?Best of L.I.? survey, published in the January 15-21, 2009 issue, covers dozens of categories, from restaurants to doctors. The weekly also cited the Eisenhower golf course and driving range among its ?Best of L.I.? picks in those categories. In naming Eisenhower Park Long Island?s best park, the Long Island Press noted the ?stiff competition? from Jones Beach Park and Bethpage State Park. ?But Eisenhower takes the best parts of both runner ups ? the various fields at Jones Beach and the golf course at Bethpage ? and combines them, then adds lush greeneries to complete the scene,? the newspaper said. Centrally located in East Meadow off Merrick Avenue and larger than Central Park, 930-acre Eisenhower Park is the flagship of the Nassau County Parks system. The park offers an extraordinary variety of recreational opportunities, including a swimming pool and fitness center at the world-class Nassau County Aquatic Center; three 18-hole golf courses, a driving range and mini-golf; a batting cage; athletic fields; playgrounds; a 2-mile fitness trail; basketball and tennis courts; bocci and lawn bowling; and the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre. In addition, the park includes large and beautiful memorials to the nation?s veterans and victims of the 9/11 attacks. |
