About

Valley Stream State Park is a popular local spot for BBQs and family gatherings. It is well-maintained and offers plenty of shade, making it great for summer days. However, the $8 parking fee and strict no-pet policy are major points of contention for some. While it is a great place for a picnic, don't expect a rugged hiking experience.
