Pardon my ignorance, but what is considered 'Western' Nassau?
I also want to take some pics in between, although I don't have as much time, I will MAKE the time
Not sure if I can afford Westbury Gardens at this point.

I'm also looking for a place. But Clark Gardens says they are only open till 4:30! I'm going to call them & make sure that's true. My Church won't be over until after 5:00.

Wacky - the duck pond is right down Roslyn Road on the right-hand side. It's beautiful!!!!!! Every once in a while on Friday night I'll see a wedding taking pics there.

The Planting Fields in Oyster Bay are beautiful-I'm not sure if it's close enough to SMCC for you.

Roslyn Duck Pond is a great place for pictures, too. The pond is on Main St. and (I think) Old Northern Blvd. in Roslyn.

Good luck!

Not sure of the name of that duck pond on Old Northern blvd in Roslyn but it is a beautiful park. If you are coming from Northern Blvd its on the left hand side about two or so mile up.
