Morgan Memorial Park
Morgan Memorial Park is a cherished 40-acre waterfront park in Glen Cove offering scenic views of Long Island Sound and lush green spaces perfect for families. The park holds special historical significance, as it was dedicated by J.P. Morgan Jr. in 1925 to honor his late wife, Jane Norton Morgan. With its combination of beach access, walking trails, and playground facilities, it's an ideal destination for families looking to enjoy nature and outdoor activities. The park features a beautiful beach area with designated swimming zones monitored by lifeguards during the summer season (10 AM to 6 PM, weather permitting). Families can enjoy picnicking, playground time with stunning sunset views over Long Island Sound, and peaceful walks along the waterfront trails. The park is open year-round, making it a versatile destination whether you're planning a summer beach day or a spring nature walk. Access to Morgan Memorial Park is available to Glen Cove residents and Locust Valley residents. Beach parking stickers are required and are free for eligible residents—you'll need to provide proof of residency and vehicle registration. Visitors should note that no dogs, alcohol, or flotation devices are permitted at the beach, and swimming is only allowed in designated areas when lifeguards are on duty.
