Out and About Parks and Rec

It’s time to get out aNd about

Nassau County may seem industrial at first glance, but when visiting the many open spaces and parks in Baldwin, that assumption disappears. These spaces welcome families looking to get outdoors. Whether visiting Baldwin Park located in Baldwin Harbor, to walk by the water at sunset or cheer on a local softball game at Parsonage Cover, Baldwin makes getting outside enjoyable.
