Directions via Google Maps
It’s called the Greenbelt, but it’s (happily) outgrown its belt shape. 2,800 acres of green space stretched out and through the heart of Staten Island compose the vast area known as the Greenbelt. That’s 2,800 acres of hiking, fishing, birding, golf, archery, biking, baseball, and endless other options for amusing oneself.
The Greenbelt rivals a college campus with its plethora of educational structures and settings. To name a few, High Rock Environmental Center, Greenbelt Native Plant Center, Greenbelt Recreation Center, and William T. Davis Wildlife Refuge enthrall and teach visitors on a constant basis.
Step into a woodland, meadow, or field and slowly begin tightening your grip on the Greenbelt.

To learn more or to apply for the childcare program, please visit the New York City Department of Education’s Learning Bridges program page.
Once we reopen, NYC Parks will extend all existing recreation center memberships to cover the length of time we are closed to the general public.
