WARNING!

Summer in the Greenbelt: Come for a Visit!

The Greenbelt is literally one of the coolest places on Staten Island. With mature forests in High Rock Park, a tree-lined trail system, shade trees in Willowbrook Park’s picnic grove and on the grounds of the Nature Center, we can keep you protected from the heat of summer.

Summertime activities such as camp for children of all ages, art workshops, morning and evening Yoga classes, hikes, family programs at the Carousel and outdoor exploration of all kinds can be found on our calendar of events link.

Check out our trail map to plot your hike or walk. You may also jump on your bike and ride the Greenbelt multi-use trail around LaTourette golf course. This is the only Greenbelt trail where bike-riding is permitted and it is not-to-be-missed.

Click here to learn about several special events taking place at the Carousel for All Children this summer.

Stay tuned for a new look to this website coming soon. The renovated site will be easier to navigate and chock full of information about the Greenbelt and all the things to do in Staten Island’s great outdoors!

Pouch Camp Must Be Saved!

Formed by glaciers during the last Ice Age, Lake Ohrbach, surrounded by Pouch Camp, has been imperiled by highway builders and now developers. The camp and lake are New York City jewels that must be saved.
