Park description
History
The park was originally owned by Nassau County, as Flower Hill County Park, and was developed in the early 1960s. In 2006, the park was purchased by the Village of Flower Hill, along with the portion of Stonytown Road within the Village.
2010s renovations
The park underwent major renovations and enhancements in the 2010s, including updated landscaping, a playground, and sports facilities.
In 2011, a playground was added to the park for children between the ages of 2 and 5, with funding allocated by a grant from the Nassau County Legislature. The playground opened in the fall of that year.
In July 2014, Flower Hill officials - including Elaine Phillips (who was then the Mayor of Flower Hill), along with then-New York State Senator Jack Martins - opened a new basketball court in the park.
On August 1, 2016, village officials opened an additional section of the playground for children between the ages of 5 and 12.
Location
The park is located off of Port Washington Boulevard (NY 101), between Stonytown Road and Bonnie Heights Road. Parking is available along Stonytown Road, adjacent to the park, as well as at Village Hall (located across from the park's Bonnie Heights Road entrance).
The Village's Stonytown Road bicycle/pedestrian path terminates at the park.
