Confirmed from Five Islands Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park offering a kid-friendly picnic area with barbecue grills, a pavilion, and access to water.

Had an amazing time here walking around. There is a hiking trail in the woods and there are tons of parking and picnic tables. There is also plenty of amazing views of the Long Island s to tf
This hidden gem is such a great find especially for a great winter walk Be sure to walk the neighborhood as there is lots to see including Salesian missions and the 100 year old Salesian high school. Great place to take wonderful winter pictures. Make you walk all of the trails to see the various views
