The Greenbelt

The Greenbelt, a City of New York flagship park located in the heart of Staten Island, is comprised of almost 3,000 acres of land dedicated to a range of passive and active recreational activities. Within its boundaries are mature stands of forest, wetlands, lakes, ponds, and streams where one can hike, explore nature, and relax. At The Greenbelt's perimeter one can enjoy a day of golf at La Tourette, play a game of tennis, or compete in a game of softball at Willowbrook. The wide variety of environments found within The Greenbelt allows it to function as a major attraction for all of Staten Island.
