Confirmed from Kings Point 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.
Community green space offering athletic facilities & playgrounds, plus rustic wooded areas & trails.

This is low key the best park in great Neck with the trails, Softball fields, and tennis courts Basically two parks combined steamboat side “Kings Point Park” and “redbrook Park” on the Redbrook side.
Nice playground with two levels. A little tricky trying to find. We initially went to the wrong entrance and had to drive almost two miles to get to the other side of the park. There are restrooms adjacent to the playground. Easy parking
