Reviews of Edith G. Read Natural Park and Wildlife Sanctuary
"Scenic and peaceful park with a lake and the Long Island Sound. Travel time is just over an our from NYC. Great place for birding."
"A hidden gem. Edith Read Sanctuary is a surprising spot, hidden behind Playland. A gander into the bamboo forest transports you to a dramatic change in light and temperature."
"Beautiful place to hike around and just chill out at. I don’t have pictures for it but the trail has many benches and is pretty easy to access. Pretty much always kept clean, with the occasional late-nighters and teenagers doing what they do. Otherwise, amazing park, especially if you like walking in nature. TL:DR; great park for wildlife and bird lovers, clean park, good trail"
"Nice place to walk and get some exercise. Always open with beautiful open air scenic spots . The deer and osprey are right there with the ducks and swans. Fresh air. Free parking . Nice photo shots , too."
"Spent a day scrolling through, found that it’s a very interesting place combined beach, hiking trail and my favorite bamboo forest. Great place for families!"
