Love this park! I come here with my dog whenever we have free time. The trail is much nicer now that they added rocks, you’re not walking in mud anymore. The field is huge to run, play ball, or just sit and relax. This park offers something for everyone of all ages, fishing, playground, picnic areas, and much more.

A wonderful place to relax, either with children or by yourself. The park also has a playground and a carousel for children. There is a recreation area with tables and a barbecue. There is also a great opportunity to walk around a small lake with ducks and enjoy the fresh air🥰🤩

This park is one of my favorite places to visit. I love watching the birds fly and the ducks swim, the turtles soaking up the sun, and the nature doing its thing. My favorite time here is spring and autumn 🍂 I would recommend this park to anyone who has never been! 😊

Beautiful city park with ample parking, carousel and archery range. There is a paved trail around the pond and hiking trail connecting Willowbrook Park with Greenbelt nature center trails. I have hiked white trail to Forest Hills Rd and back to the parking lot. The trail is quite muddy in mid-winter. Corson’s family chimney ruin was most memorable detail of the hike.

Ive been to a lot of parks in Staten island 🏝️ but this one has a big pond.🌅 First time Ive been here with a group of people and just walked around the park for almost 30 minutes. It was pretty nice at first but then my shoes 👟 was ill-equipped for rocks on the ground. It was 10:00 in the morning and not much was opened. but I bet in the summer 🌞 youre going to have a pretty nice time there. I see a little bit of kids and not a lot of dogs but my experience was pretty interesting 😁. I didnt see a bathroom there but when I come back, I might want to ask people who work there. 👍🙂

A great nyc public park that’s quite serene and very good to bring families to walk or bike around the lake, plenty of wild life there’s a snowy egret there and plenty of ducks and birds. Fishing I also see. Enjoy!

A large park adjacent to CSI campus. If you love the outdoors , there are multiple activities from archery , bbq area , a seasonal kiddie carousel that runs from May-October. Also 4 softball fields as well . Parking lot by fields is rough and bumpy but overall a nice park complete with benches and restrooms.

Brought my dog here for the first time today. We had a lot of fun! The park is beautiful and has a path that circles the lake. There are spots for picnics and fields for recreation. I cant wait to visit again.

I’m giving it a one star because it’s not handicap friendly. I have a mobility scooter and trying to get around. There was impossible most the time I had a ride on the road. There are no ramps for me to go up. I had to basically get off my scooter lift the front of it up just to get onto where I had to go. I’m very unhappy, but how this park is a really decent park but not for people with disabilities it was very hard for me to get around and I did get. It was hard for me because they have a bunch of rocks around the picnic area, where I can’t even navigate my scooter and a bunch of tree roots so this is why I’m giving this review they need to improve in mobility people

Such a nice place to enjoy the weather and nature! Took our new puppy here on his very first walk & he loved it also! So much wildlife to see ! Saw multiple turtles, Canadian geese, ducks, fish, and an array of beautiful different species of birds. Has a nice path to walk on and the archery range is a hidden gem! Bathrooms are clean which is important. Nice area to have BBQs and enjoy time with friends and family! I believe its a hidden gem all around

I like to come out here to look at the sun as its going down from the woods. Just watch out for the karens that think they own the woods.Its like a person cant sit out here. Just to relax in the forest without them Stopping and looking at you like you dont belong there. what they dont like Latinos in the woods..

I wanted to take a moment to share my appreciation for Willowbrook Park. This beautiful green space has become one of my favorite places to visit, and I am consistently impressed by the high standards maintained throughout the park.The parks natural beauty is truly breathtaking, with well-maintained lawns, vibrant flower beds, and a variety of trees that provide ample shade and a serene atmosphere. The walking trails are always clean and well-marked, making it a pleasure to stroll, jog, or cycle through the park. I also appreciate the thoughtfully placed benches and picnic areas, which offer perfect spots to relax and enjoy the scenery.The facilities at Willowbrook Park are top-notch. The playgrounds are safe, fun, and well-designed, providing endless enjoyment for children. The sports fields and courts are in excellent condition, catering to a wide range of recreational activities. The clean restrooms and ample parking add to the overall convenience of visiting the park.One of the standout features of Willowbrook Park is the dedication to community engagement and events. The variety of programs and activities offered, from fitness classes to outdoor concerts, ensures there is always something exciting happening. These events foster a strong sense of community and provide wonderful opportunities for families and friends to gather and create lasting memories.Lastly, I want to commend the staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to keep Willowbrook Park in such pristine condition. Their efforts do not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated by all who visit.Thank you, Willowbrook Park, for providing such a wonderful, well-maintained, and welcoming space for our community. Your commitment to excellence truly shines, and I look forward to many more enjoyable visits.Keep up the fantastic work!

Many trails to follow, this is a great place to commune with nature. The woods are wonderful, With the influx of wildlife (deer) its sometimes hard to believe it is actually part of NYC. While the free maps are not the greatest, new signage and trail markers make it easy to find your way through. Four season availability make these trails a great year round respite and source of exercise, that was a very awesome 15 miles hike!

This is a review on fishing only!! The lake has lots of fish but its impossible to catch anything since the fish have been caught so much. There are no vegetation like lily pads so theres a bit of a disadvantage. There is lots of weeds and trees so thats good hiding spots for fish. My experience, I through on a piece of corn as bait and threw it into a group of carp during feeding hour. Not one hooked up. It might be my fault but fish usually go crazy for corn. Find a different pond/lake if you want to catch anything. Other then that, good luck👍

Free parking is available close to the beach. Its a nice beach and there is a nice trail along the coast. The only catch is its mostly empty. It might because we visited early March and on a weekday. However, if you want quality time with yourself in serene environment, this is definitely a place you would like.

Review №69

This is a nice park for a day out with the kids or for a leisurely walk alone. There is a trail around a small lake. Only 1/2 the trail is paved and in the open while the other 1/2 is a combination of dirt & gravel and travels through a wooded area. This wooded trail is part of the larger greenbelt white trail. Both paths provide lake views. There are many ducks and geese here so be careful with little kids not in strollers as they are not afraid of people but can still get aggressive sometimes. In the nicer weather, you may also see people fishing (catch & release only).In addition, this park also has a refurbished antique carousel that is beautiful, with many hand painted animals and scenes depicting Staten Island.There is a playground adjacent to a picnic area with tables and charcoal grills, an archery field, and a dog run. Also, baseball fields (behind the lake).This park is easily accessible from Richmond Ave and/or Victory Blvd.Overall, a great city park whereas once you get inside, you can escape and easily forget that you are in the middle of one of the most congested areas of Staten Island.

This is such a beautiful park. I love the water side, seeing people fishing as I take a stroll with my children is so relaxing not to mention the view of ducks. Its always a plus to have an open bathroom. I do wish that they could add just a little more to the park activities such as a swing or monkey bar.

What a beautiful park. Been coming here for 30 years. Grew up playing baseball and soccer as a kid. Then started fishing as I got older. I enjoy all that nature has to offer while taking my daily walks through the park. The Merry-go-Round was a nice enhancement to the park. It’s fun for the whole family.

Nice little park - FUN FACT:they filmed part of the PEARL JAM video Jeremy in this place. The part when the kid is running in the woods. Back in the 90s of course. Was in the park hanging with some friends when the film crew came in.They let us stay and watch, but it got a little boring. We all left and the video came out a few weeks or months later.Nice park - they have a nice Carousel in this park off the Richmond Ave entrance. Good place for some fresh water fishing & nice place to bring the dogs for the dog run. Bathrooms are generally clean for a park. One of our go to places when the kids were younger. My dad takes his dog there quite often. Lots of ducks to feed. The other side of the park has baseball/softball fields & theres also geocaching to be found in this park. Enjoy the day at Willowbrook park.

This is a small but quiet park. It features a lake, baseball fields, a gravel trail, and a carousel. Its a nice place to walk. I wouldnt say the same for a picnic because a geese live there and seems to get closer to humans with food. They get fed so theyre very dependent on humans for food. Dont get too close to them because some of fight back. The park has two entrances: one at Victory Boulevard and the other at Richmond Avenue. Both entrances have parking lots.
