One of my favorite places to play in East Rockaway is Memorial Park, which is on Atlantic Avenue. I highly recommend this park because even though it isn’t the most popular, it’s a very nice place to hang out.

For example, the massively tall trees block part of the sun, leaving only a few beautiful beams of light falling on the grass. One part of the park that is interesting to me is the tanks from beams from 9/11.

Lastly, it has an area to run around on the blacktop. For all you nervous parents out there, there is no need to worry about your kids, with a police station right next to the park.

Overall this is an amazing place to spend your time and have fun with your family and friends.
