PARK FACT:

Owl's Head Park
Skate Park
Season: Season 1, Summer 2006
Parks designers collaborated with local teens to create Staten Island's first skate Park.
Under Construction
The upper overlook terrace and paths are closed. We are reconstructing the 70-year old terrace with new paving, benches, fences, landscaping and lighting. A new path will make the terrace accessible to everyone. We are also adding a drinking fountain and bike rack. In addition, we will be pruning and fertilizing the trees and cleaning the drainage system.
The result will be a lovely, tranquil spot to relax and enjoy nature, or to participate in special events.
Anticipated Completion: Spring 2010
