Reviews
"Love Edith Read sanctuary. Fantastic weekend programs for all ages as well as summer camps. I got to experience a seining net with my daughter. A walk in the bamboo forest learning about Bamboo with the fantastic park staff member Scott."
"Easy trails for beginners through fields, marshes and forests. Great for birding. Nice views of the water. You can see deer and many birds including ospreys. The nature center has some great displays and often sponsors photo contests, etc . Great for a half day to explore nature or a few hours."
"Beautiful place that is a birders paradise. There are some nesting ospreys right now and a herd of wild turkeys. Lots of water fowl and several short hiking trails around the small lake."
"This is a very pleasant and easy to navigate wildlife sanctuary. It lies just beyond Playland Park, so you sort of have to drive through its large parking area to access. The sanctuary has its own very small lot but if it's full you can park closer to Playland. It offers scenic hiking trails with great views of Playland Lake and the Long Island Sound. It's a pretty small area so you can't get lost and most people will not find strenuous."
