Morgan Memorial Park

Very nice place to have a great family time. But have to face a little treble if you’re a outsider. Because it’s a private beach park for the cove residents. So outsiders are not welcomed there. But after entering the park you feel like it’s (trable) worth it. I would love to go again, though I know the bitter part.

Visited Morgan Park yesterday for the first time. You have a gem there in Glen Cove. We really enjoyed our visit. It was just great strolling through the park with a view to the beach, through the trees, interesting buildings on the property... just a lovely afternoon taking in the joys of this little park. I reviewed a lot of the photos that are posted on this site & I must say that we took a bunch of those same angle shots ourselves! The residents of Glen Cove are so lucky to have this little Park within easy access. I can only imagine how lovely it looks in all seasons. We’ll be back!

Great place to sit, walk or, see the most beautiful view of CT. Special spot referred, by long time residents as, lovers lane, it has a gazebo. Great place to get engaged. Its at the end of the beach area, benches situated through out the path. If you want a work out, there are plenty of people out early running, walking doinh some form of exercise. Several roads, trials and stairs lead to the picnic area. During the month of July and August, free concerts are held and they dont disappoint. Plenty of free parking. But, must be a Glen Cove resident, during the summer. Non-residents are welcomed in the park after 6pm. So, concerts in the park are attended by residents and non-residents. Great time had by all. They even have nice picnic areas with grills, YES!! Leads you there, its on a hill. Lots of benches with beautiful views of the water and boats across the way, simply beautiful, worth repeating. Snack bar by beach so if youre handicapped the parking lot and lower grounds cater to someone using a cane or a wheelchair. The further down you walk, there is a challenge for the physically handicapped, it would be the mounting hills on your way back up.

Oh how I wish I was John Peirpont Morgan aka JP Morgan. Well at least we get to use the park! Only for Glen Cove and Locust Valley residents. This is a true gem of the Gold Coast...dramatic sweeping elevations with spectacular views of the Long Island Sound. A must see!!!

Picturesque park with beach, trees and short winding hill walks.

Beautiful place. However, you have to be resident to go there. We went there on Sunday and nobody was on the booth. I dont know if thats normal or not. If you want you can take that chance and trust me, the view is breathtaking.

3 star because it’s a really nice park. Me and my friends walked in without reading the small printed sign outside the park (Who reads small printed signs before entering a park anyway?). if you’re not a resident of glen cove and park in the parking lot then will end up getting a mean lecture along with a ticket by the state troopers there. Basically outsiders are not welcomed there :/

Nice beach front park with nice rolling hills and comfortable surroundings. Needs some cleaning by thr pathway with the large stones but good park overall.

Beautiful place to visit. It was awsome to see the sunset. Good place to go on a romantic date. No bathroom tho, under construction. Street parking available. Parking lot is only for residents or permits holders. Take your short if you want to swim.

Very peaceful. The lifeguards and parking staff are all friendly. Never crowded during the week and nice grounds for picture taking

Great place to stroll and not too crowded!

Beautiful park. Nice walk. Amazing sunset. Only problem was people with decks and loud music.

One of the beautiful place to visit with your family to enjoy, nice and clean environment with lots of nature and ocean views.

Beautiful park. I wish I wouldve known about it earlier.

We parked the car, just to eat before doctors appointment. It was a great way to enjoy the peaceful scenery, all around us. Didnt stay long but it was time well spent

Nice environment and quiet place. Lovely views of the sea. A lot of ships and children park available. Beautiful sunsets are seen from these place. Highly recommended

Nice park. It is a private beach area and can only be used by residents of the community.

Great place to take the kids.Clean and lots of shade when kids play.

Its a very nice and quite (busy at weekend) park to spend some time. It has nice place for photography, sunset view is spectacular.

Very quiet park with nature sounds. Must see!

Nice shaded park and small clean beach but for Glen Cobe residents only!When will the restrooms will open. They are open all around LI beaches already! (July 26 2020)

Absolutely beautiful in the Fall.Amazing sunset too

Resident only park. It looked ok. since were not residents we went across the street to the preserve and had a nice hike. There was also a beach there

It was ok outside the beach but I dont know about in the park because Im not a resident of glen cove. Oh well I guess thats the way it goes. Not a very happy camper. Life goes on.

Beautiful beach and park.

A Beautiful park that has a great walking path all around the park. I like all the big trees that offer great shade. If you come off season parking and park is free.

Beautiful beach and park. Its a great place.

Amazing outdoor space for the whole family.

A very relaxing place to refresh and recharge! Parking lot is too crowded, plan your visit responsibly as no parking on the street.

Beautiful park. Saw a show there. Was a beautiful place to see a show. Great sunset.

Very nice local beach with good summer concerts - just dont forget to bring the bug spray along with your blanket or beach chair

Beautiful place to walk, run, swim or just engage with nature. This is a residents only.

Brilliant place to relax at sunrise & sunset.

This park is beautiful, great for a nice walk, clean, has a playground for kids with swings, a beach with a great view.

Scenic waterfront. If your not a resident you can not use the public bathroom.

This is really nice place. Not too many people

Nice place, very scenic.

Gorgeous place to take your sweetie and hangout on the water.

Its a gorgeous park with nice walking paths, hills, benches, playground and a swimming beach.

Great place for families, less crowded, friendly park management and neighborhood.

It was a very nice day the water was lovely

Its beautiful! Just make sure you do better than me at picking the day you go...we got rained out!

Though its small but beautiful and clean, its good for fishing. No barbecue,and may be it’s for local residents. I went there after 6 p.m with my family. So I am not sure how much they charge for entering the park.however overall this park is wonderful, my family like it and enjoyed.

Beautiful. Great for family pictures.

Very pretty park it all overviews water nice relaxing time not for hiking

Lovely place. Beautiful

View and shots were nice

Bathrooms havent been fixed for awhile. I understand covid happened but I wanted to say something about the bathrooms for awhile now

Its a nice tiny little little beach. Perfect for a walk on the beach. The trails you have to take to get to the beach are very nice. Totally soothing and calming. Give it a try and see for your self. You wont be disappointed.

Sun, sea, gazebo, clean bathrooms, security, free parking. Great location for a picnic.

Beautiful with stunning views.

I sneaked it a few times but if caught they do let you know you cant be there as it is a park for residents only. I would love for it to be open to the public as it has a very nice view, playground and even a little area to bath when is summer time, oh! And to fish too. Definitely a place to go!

Great outdoor venue with an amazing view of the bay! Too bad they close it off to only town residents. Racism and classism in full effect.

I love this park

Beautiful park near the shore with lush green grass and trees with melodies from birds.

Wonderful view there. Good place for walking and living. Want to go there again.

Hmmm.. possibly my wedding spot

Very nice park, due bathrooms are closed during covid19, also there are signs saying that the water might be contaminated and swimming isnt recommended which is a bummer

I loved it!

Everything is fun except too many bugs during the summer.

Morgan Park is a peaceful, clean happy place to go. If you need to get away from your hectic life, take a stroll into this Park and I am pretty sure you will feel alot better. Connect with nature on the trails, go down to the water on a sunny day and check out their concerts during the summer every Sunday evening. Just look down every now and then..the geese there may have dropped a couple. I always see the City workers of Glen Cove cleaning up. Thank you Glen Cove for this oasis.

A nice jetti build after the 1942 Hurricane and picnic Park

This park is one of my most favorite places to go! Its absolutely stunning. I show this place to my friends and its now their favorite place to go as well!

Beautiful park with playground, rolling hills, gazebo and views. You can swim here in season. Unfortunately, only Glen Cove and Locust Valley residents may park here. We visited in the off season and the guard booth was not staffed.

4th of July concert

The fireworks show is always a treat.

Great place for a family picnic, jogging, and a good nap :). Very clean and well kept. I really love this place

Really nice place but only problem u need to be residence of glen cove.

Beautiful sunset

My wife, two kids (7 & 2) went to see the July 4th fireworks at the Morgan Memorial Park this year (2018). It was such an amazing experience. We parked just a few blocks away from the park (for free) walk down to the park and found a spot right beside the stage. The orchestra was playing old classics and kids of all ages were playing around just having an amazing time. The area was perfect for kids because no one was smoking or drinking or being loud. I dont know if you can find a better place for spending a few hours with the family. The fireworks started at around 9pm and went on for at least 30 mins or more. The drive back was a bit tough but the police directed traffic very well in my opinion and everyone seem to have a good time. From our spot we were also able to see the sea cliff fire works and parts of the Jones beach fireworks in the far distance. I would highly recommend the venue for anyone not just for Juky 4th but also to spend a quite evening with family and friends. There is spot to go fishing and walk on the sandy beach. Please note there are no dogs allowed nor drinking alcohol or smoking. You will find restaurants near by but not sure if there are any thats within walking distance of the park. Residents of Glen Cove and Locust Valley may use Morgan Park from Memorial day to Labor day. they check for residency at the entrance.

Fantastic place.

This is a beautiful park with the water sight. It just relaxing and calm with a little play ground for kids and areas to lay a blanket and have a picnic.

Great park... nice walking paths... cute beach area & good parking lot, but check on the requirements to be a Glen Cove resident to USE that parking lot... may have to pay to use for non-GC-resident.

Beautiful park. Tall trees, nice beach, and a beautiful stone. promenade. Unfortunately only open to Glen Cove residents and no dogs allowed.

Peaceful and seems safe too

Nice place for a walk on the water. Much of the park is delapidated and run down but nice views. During the summer months you need to be a resident of Glen Cove to get on ....

Beautiful beach and pier, I went for a carribean fest and I enjoyed my time there. I would say it is perfect for photography and if you need a beautiful escape.

One of the best places to experience Nassau countys north shore.

Concert at park sound was excellent. Water in park beautiful to look at fill u with a feeling of peace

We were here for the 4th of July fireworks display. They had a Billy Joel cover band. For me that is a hoot, I went to high school with him. Nice place.

Nice venue. Bring your chair and your dinner and enjoy. Bring friends.

Amazing place for a car show!

What a beautiful park!!

Very tranquil and immersive, you will feel very relax walking along the beach shore and the park.

Not a welcome place. Police checking everywhere for people who want to have a fun time with family.

Beautiful park! Great for families.

Good place to walk and picnic, all along the water.

2019 4th July fireworks not worth the wait and crowd. 15 minute only and not much fanfare. Memorial day much better.

Cool park to be in!

A beautiful place to come and relax by the waterVery clean, and never too bzLove it

We rested for a while during kayaking

WARNING, not a public park, open to public only on special events, a town resident park and you cannot purchase access. Low rating based on Google not mentioning this and this appearing on search, so that people wont be disappointed when turned away with kids.

Enjoyed 4th of July fireworks with my family. Look forward to revisiting next year

Beautiful park right on the water. Listening to the Northwinds Symphonic Band

One of the nicest parks in Long Island.

Beautiful little park that is for local residents only. I managed to gain entry, but why this is a residents only park is beyond comprehension. Its impeccably landscaped, and a great place to go for a walk on the LI Sound.

Beautiful Scenery, and went for the car show. Nice shade and cool breeze.

Private park for local residents only, so an unfriendly vibe, and it was virtually empty except for the huge flocks of Canada geese. Still, some nice water views.

Nice location, stunning views, ample space to stay relax and lots of shade to come enjoy the summer days.

Calm, soothing, scenic. Absolutely amazing Sunset
