Brooklyn
The 585-acre park is one of the finest creations of the landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Begun in 1866, it has a 60-acre lake on its east side, the 90-acre Long Meadow on the west and Brooklyn's last remaining original woodlands (the Ravine) in between.

Staten Island
High Rock Park is a 90-acre preserve that offers short hiking trails (and access to the Greenbelt's longer trails), comfort stations, the Greenbelt's administration and education centers, and headquarters for the Urban Park Rangers. Drivers can park in the lot at the end of Nevada Avenue and walk in through the Greta Moulton Gate.
A paved, relatively flat Nature Path, where visitors of all abilities can explore the park's flora and fauna with the aid of illustrated signs, is accessible from the parking lot. -
