Charles Memorial Park (Gateway National Recreation Area)

William Maldonado Jr

This is an extremely great place to visit. When the weather is hot, it's a great place to set a chair near the water, feet dipped in it, and sunglasses on. Enjoyable! The sound to the waves are extremely satisfying, no radio needed! However, the downside to this experience are the idol worshippers who make this experience for nature lovers a bit uncomfortable because they "sacrifice food" right near the shore. Whatever they leave, goes into the water, where children enjoy a swim with their families. The broken bottles are the most important thing to be very cautious about if you love walking barefoot. There are certain places you can dig up pieces of dangerous, and broken glass bottles. If you choose to walk barefoot, do this at your own risk. I'd be very, very careful though. I wish the voodoo people would stop polluting the earth created to be enjoyed, nonetheless, i am here every morning. Would be great if the community got together and made a petition to have some of these people arrested for soliciting. Even if some of the people in the community got together to clean it up, i would volunteer to make this a blessed experience for all!

Beautiful atmosphere great place to have a nice walk. Great park for the kids in the summer. Over all it's a peaceful place for you to relax your mind and clear your thoughts, oh and can't forget the beautiful view...

Visit here frequently. It's a great park for the kids and dogs or even just taking a stroll yourself. Its always clean, never crowded. Great spot to watch the sunset or the frequent planes take off from JFK. It has a tiny spot for parking which is usually full but you can find parking in the residential streets near by.
