Hard to believe you are still in nyc when you pick a trail and go. Any season any time of year is a good time to enjoy the greenbelt. Deer a plenty, red tail hawks. What will you discover.
My boyfried at the time wanted to take me to this park for he always went there as a little boy. It had trails to follow and was didn't seem that noticable from the highway which gave it great privacy. We enjoyed the smaill sreams throughout the park and the species that grew in it.
If u enjoy nature, animals, sights, and some history, come and explore the Greenbelt of S.I. I've been biking, and hiking these woods for over 20 years. If you want to leave the city for a while with out leaving the city, you must come here. There are some nice vistas, swamps, ponds, streams, tall hills, and all different types of vegetation. Go for it!
Follow trails in the Greenbelt and enjoy the beauty and serenity of nature. You need a car to get there, but parking is limited.
I came here with my nine and eleven year old daughters. We all enjoyed following the trails (they're color designated with spray paint or small signs on the trees as you walk). I wanted to make it to Moses' Mountain but didn't want to go too far with the kids.
You can't believe your on Staten Island!! Just the place if you need a break from the crazyness.Lots of trails to explore and tranquil suroundings
This is a truly wonderful place to feel as if you have gotten away from the big city and entered nature's serene vista! A real nice area to walk through when the weather gets warmer!
As I had said before for other Staten Island locations. If you are local then may be going over there once in a few years is OK, but there is really nothing special to see and do over there.
Located in the Hills of Staten Island, this is a wonderful park to hike. Many trails to explore all Staten Island has to offer. Off the beaten path but worth the trip
It is very easy to forget you are still in the five boroughs when you are here. Very peaceful greenery; I find it reminiscent of woods I've been to upstate.
