Thank you! The park is a gem, very quiet and sometimes we are the only people there (especially in the winter). However it is small. If you ever did visit Whitney Pond Park, it would be good to combine that visit with a stop at Clark Botanical Garden. It's about 5 miles away. Another gem. More frequented than Whitney, but still very quiet and tended by devoted horticulturists. Both places are small, free, and open to the public. I've attached a map, just in case it ever happened that you were in the area. This is the way I would go--Never on the LIE 😅 (The path I have mapped is on the service road)

Thanks for the visit and appreciation.
