Lemon Creek Park
4.5 (548)park
A peaceful Staten Island waterfront getaway where tidal marshes meet beach walks and scenic marina views.
Description




Located on the southern shore of Staten Island with views stretching toward New Jersey, the park is a spot to escape city sounds. The area is home to wildlife like terrapins and fiddler crabs. Benches are scattered throughout the paths for watching the sunset or taking an evening stroll. For families, there is a tiny playground, and a gazebo stands near the kayak launch and marina.
