  Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve
  Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve is a 265-acre nature preserve near the southwest shore of Staten Island. It contains a variety of unique habitats, such as wetlands, ponds, sand barrens, spring-fed streams and woodlands. The preserve is managed to retain its unique ecology and to provide educational and recreational opportunities for people of all ages. Evidences of the Leni Lenape Indians, European settlers and the Free Blacks of Sandy Ground provide a rich cultural history. Educational programs, such as nature walks, pond ecology, birdwatching and tree and flower identification, are offered, as are many activities geared to school children. School and group programs are also welcome by advance registration. In addition, visitors may picnic or hike on designated trails. Horseback riding is also permitted on over 5 miles of bridle paths.
  
  Who would of thought that there is a amazing hiking area on Staten Island just around the corner from all the industries.

  Nice and peaceful. It's like you are in the country. Wildlife all over the place. It makes you forget that you are in nyc. Public treasure

  A hidden gem on Staten Island. You will not believe this sort of preservation is within one of the five boroughs. It is known to locals of course but not heavily frequented. Lots of deer to be seen; walking trails, ponds and various wild life and streams. Once you are five minutes into it feels like a place far far away.

  An unbelievable GEM that's equally difficult to locate! You absolutely cannot BELIEVE that you're on Staten Island (or in New York City for that matter) for the scenery and complete solitude! ????

  My first graders took a class trip to Clay Pit Ponds Preserve. It was the most amazing trip because of our guide, Emily. Our trip started in a classroom where the students were able to investigate how we use our senses with hands on centers that demonstrated scent, sounds, touch, sight and taste. We then took a hike through the preserves and observed onion, stink cabbage, moss, deer, birds ans salamanders. Emily kept the students engaged the entire time. She was super patient and knowledgeable with all of their questions, and first graders have tons of questions! She really was phenomenal!! The preserve was also wonderful. It was clean and full of life.
