It's Part II of our recurring series about unique features at Long Island parks.
This time, it's the skate park at Nickerson Beach Park in Lido Beach. We're fairly certain it's the only such place at a county owned park.
See the Part I video: Aerodrome at Cedar Creek Park in Seaford.
Earlier this summer, I got to thinking. Every park, be it state, county or town, has pretty much the same stuff: open fields to run around and an area to do something sporty. The bigger parks have more stuff, and the smaller parks have less stuff.
But there are quite a few parks on Long Island that feature very unique things, things that you can only do at a particular park.
First up in this recurring video series is the aerodrome at Cedar Creek Park in Seaford. Sure, you can fly a model airplane in your backyard if you want, but only Cedar Creek has a dedicated field with runways and field controllers.
Season 2, Episode 14: Country Fair Park in Medford
You guys voted Country Fair in Medford as the No. 1 mini-golf course on Long Island.
We decided to see if you were right. Hosts Mark La Monica and Anne Machalinski battle it out on the artificial grass for the inaugural ExploreTV mini-golf title. See who wins.
P.S. They've got a lot more things to do at Country Fair, too.
Season 2, Episode 12
There are tons of spots to karaoke on Long Island. Host Anne Machalinski hit Callahan's in East Meadow on Thursday, where she rocked the mic with her off-key rendition of "It's Raining Men," plus interviewed the regulars on when they found their inner rock star and more.
