Four Beaches and Open Skies at a Staten Island Park
Walk salt marshes and shoreline trails where deer and rabbits roam beside Great Kills Harbor.
🌊 Salt Marshes Meet Open Trails
At 3270 Hylan Blvd, Great Kills Park gives you a waterfront reset with salt marshes, trails, and wide skies near Great Kills Harbor. The shoreline keeps the outing open, with quiet stretches for walking, running, or dog walking and enough room for the city noise to fall back.
The park spreads the choices around, with four beaches across the grounds and open views of Staten Island. Geese move through the lawns, while deer and rabbits belong to the wider landscape. Families can stop at the small playground with swings, then head back toward the paths and the cooling sea breeze.
Take the long way through the grounds, pause near the water, or make a loop that trades indoor plans for marsh air and changing views. The grounds open at 6 AM and stay open until 1 AM every day, with enough room for a quiet walk or a full afternoon outside.
