Arthur J Hendrickson Park and Pool

A great place for families. We raised our children at this pool and now we take our grandchildren. Spotlessly clean, great snack bar, bathroom, showers and playground. One Olympic pool, a diving pool, a baby pool, sprinkler area and quiet adult only pool.

Fun place to hang out in fall, spring and summer! Walk pass the pond all the time it’s beautiful

So it has bothered me for quite a while that as a resident of Valley Stream, my family is not allowed to use the pool at Arthur J Hendrickson Park because our street is not on «the list» of streets whose residents are allowed to use the pool. I just found out that Malverne and Lynbrook residents can use the pool. Hmmm, the park is located in Valley Stream, I live in Valley Stream just sayin”…

MerryChristmas/​HappyHolidays Unilocaleees!
Home for the holidays.
Breakfast yummsss! Gifts nice. Love all around.
I decided to go for a walk. As I jumped on Unilocal to check in, I realized it was at this park that I did my very first review. Seems like so many childbirths ago lol
Today isn’t as cold as I thought it would be. Hell where’s that elusive snow?!? Started off with a slight drizzle of rain but now the sun is out in all her glory!
My aunt wants us to go see some (popular) Christmas tree *sighs* I just wanna crawl back onto my borrowed futon.
The End.

A small park with a man-​made lake, lots of geese and squirrels and short walking/​bike paths. Needs a little TLC. The grass needs seeding and there are two sad swans who lie around in garbage all the time. Every time I visit, they look more and more forlorn. Who can blame them? Clean the litter out of the water! I’m not bothered about the ball courts or pool, but those are available. The leaves look pretty in the autumn.

Great park that you would drive right by if you didn’t already know about it. 1 mile and 1.5 mile loops around a nice lake/​pond/​creek. If you’ve been here you get it.
My only let down is they never turn on the lights for the handball courts anymore. I’d be there so much more instead of driving to other towns looking for games at night. Why have the lights if you won’t turn them on? You do have police, auxiliary police and park patrol at all times.
But they turn on the lights for basketball… but not tennis either.
Either way, it’s a nice park with a serene feel.

This park is lovely and huge. Lots of trees and shaded area. Lots of fearless geese who are familiar with people. Beware of the geese poop!
There is a little playground on one side where the young-​lings can roam around, a mini golf area, as well as a tennis court.
The walking path and the bike path paves the way throughout the entire park. There are plenty of benches and I often see young couples making out. I’m not against public displays of affection, but most of these couples are quite unfortunate looking. Seriously, where are the Brangelinas of Valley Stream to make us feel bad about ourselves?
I love to walk, and this park provides a peaceful and scenic walk. There is a huge body of water in the middle of the park and at times the sprinklers will go off in the middle of it. It gleams beautifully during the middle of the day when the sun is high.
This is a great place to walk around aimlessly, jog, bike, and hang out in the sun.
