[14 Best Things to Do in Staten Island's Greenbelt with NYC Kids]( At 2,800 acres, Staten Island’s Greenbelt is one of the largest public parks in New York City. Like [Central Park]( in Manhattan, Brooklyn's [Prospect Park]( the Bronx's [Pelham Bay Park]( and [Flushing Meadows Corona Park]( in Queens, the Greenbelt is considered one of NYC's flagship green spaces. However, it's actually several parks linked together in Staten Island’s interior, including the popular Willowbrook Park, home to the [Carousel for All Children]( the wild High Rock Park, and Bloodroot Valley named for its large population of signature flowers. The Greenbelt makes for a great [staycation]( destination for NYC families. It's jam-packed with attractions, including 30 miles of groomed hiking trails, a nature center, a recreation center, a public golf course, a merry-go-round, barbecue grills, a lake for fishing, a living history museum, and playgrounds. It's also filled with a wide variety of plants, flowers, and wildlife, such as Great Blue Herons, muskrats, hawks, owls, woodpeckers, frogs and turtles. It's possible to see most of the Greenbelt's big attractions on foot in one day, but it's more relaxing to choose one area to explore at your leisure. Here are our top 14 things to do in the Greenbelt with kids. [Read more.]( [NYC September GoList. ( [Festivals, farm fun, and tugboat races—our top picks for September!]( [NYC Best of Fall.
