Optimum Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall
Located in Great Neck's most affluent town, King's Point Park is mostly a forest with hiking trails. It also has a baseball field and picnic areas and a playground on its south side. But the main draw, I think, is the hiking mid November during the peak of foliage. It took an hour on the trail we took, but it was lovely at every turn.
Kill a few birds with one stone: Visit neighboring Stepping Stone if you have a park pass and are a Great Neck resident!
