  Great park, I live nearby and go here to jog. The scenery is great, right by the water so there’s usually a good breeze. I really like how they have markers for runners, makes it super simple to keep track of how far I’ve gone.

  In 1860, the businessman and pioneering naturalist John J. Crooke bought a part of the land and lived in a wooden house at the beach. In 1916, severe erosion cut the narrow spit of land and Crooke's Point became an island to itself.
  As early as 1925, the New York City government was considering buying 50 acres (20 ha) of Crooke's land to build a playground. Mayor John Francis Hylan considered purchasing up to 443 acres (179 ha) of land for a larger park, with provisions for future additions to bring the park's size to 1,000 acres (400 ha). A resort would be built on the site, which was expected to cost $10 million.
  In 1929, the city bought Crooke's Point and adjacent land and started to build a public park. Due to the Great Depression and World War II, the work was delayed and the park could not be opened to the public until 1949. It became part of the Gateway National Recreation Area in 1973, along with Miller Field and Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, Jamaica Bay in Brooklyn and Queens, and Sandy Hook in New Jersey.

  Park is big but most of the territory has a restricted access. If you are walking there with your car parked on the parking ot consider to manage your time. One time you realize that you are in 30min walking distance from you car and have an urgent business somewhere else. The park is long and there is no shortcuts.
