Description

Bay Park entered Nassau County's park system in 1947. [2] The park is roughly 96 acres (39 ha) in total area. [2]

Amenities at the park include a golf course, a playground, picnic areas, sports fields, a dog park, and fishing and boating facilities. [2]

The golf course within Bay Park consists of 9 holes. [2] [3] [4] A controversy took place in the late 1960s regarding this golf course. [3] Many Nassau residents grew frustrated over fact that the golf course was closed; the closure resulted from cuts to Nassau's budget, as the funds needed to hire personnel were not available. [3] Although the golf course was eventually opened that summer during daylight hours, other areas of the park would remain closed for the season due to the funding issues. [4]

According to the United States Geological Survey, Bay Park is located 20 feet (6 m) above sea level. [5]
