Anyone familiar with the south shore Nassau county?? RP from BHB
I need help finding a place to take my wedding pics day of. Normally I would just go to the beach but the fourth of July will be CRAZY so I can't do that. I am having my ceremony in Freeport and my reception in Island Park so anywhere in Freeport, Baldwin, Oceanside, RVC, or Island Park will work. I would like to do either a park of something with a water view. Let me know if you have any suggestions! TIA!

Well I know that there is Valley Stream state park, which is only about 10 min from Freeport. There is also Bayard Cutting in Oakdale which also isnt that far away. They would both have some nice places for pictures

There is a park in Baldwin that has a lake and a waterfall. I don't remember the name of the street..sorry. But there is a pond with ducks. Its very pretty. Also there is Hempstead Lake State Park in RVC.

Milburn Pond Park / Milburn Creek Park Freeport, West Merrick Road and South Brookside Avenue Phone:N/A On Site Staff:No
The 8-acre Milburn Pond Park provides a pretty setting for a half-mile stroll around the pond or for relaxing on the numerous benches. Across West Merrick Road from Milburn Pond Park, the adjoining Milburn Creek Park is a narrow 24-acre park split by Milburn Creek, a mix of salt water from Freeport Bay to the south and fresh water from the north. Milburn Creek Park includes a half-mile walking or jogging trail and a boat launch, accessible via the Atlantic Avenue entrance. Milburn Pond is one of several County properties that were orginally designed for draingage purposes and were later turned into public parks; Milburn Creek was also the site of the first boat launch offered by the County (in 1963).
Silver Lake Park Baldwin, Foxhurst Road, just south of Merrick Road Phone:N/A On Site Staff:No
Silver Lake is a beautiful 9-acre park located in a residential area, with a large pond at its southern end. The park’s walkway circles the pond, providing a good opportunity for strolling and jogging. The park is also a popular setting for wedding photographs. Silver Lake is one of several County properties that were orginally designed for draingage purposes and were later turned into public parks.
Silver Lake is included in a three-pond capital improvement restoration project announced by County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi in August 2005 and currently being renovated

valley stream state park is disgusting haha.
What about Nautical Mile?
but if youare in island park (Bridgeview???) then long beach is right down the road. or you might be able to find a nice dock area over there. all thoses restuaraunts and homes are on the water.
there is also a park near there.. i think its called shell creek..
here is s pic.. you can see the water in the background. you have to go there to check it out in person.. because this is the best shot i have of it. (we took our students there for a trip)
