Part of Staten Island's Greenbelt, Willowbrook Park is one Borough's most popular outdoor destinations.

It is home to the Carousel for All Children, a Victorian inspired ride that is a delight for children and the young at heart. This merry-go-round features beautiful hand-carved figures that range from the standard horse to endangered species and mythical beasts. The carousel is completely accessible to people with physical impairments, meaning that anyone can ride! The-164 acre park also offers ballfields, tennis courts, playgrounds, and an archery range. Willowbrook Lake provides a sanctuary for birds and can be explored by paddle or row boat, which can be rented from the boathouse. http://www.sigreenbelt.org/About/Willowbrook/willowbrook_park.htm
