						<p>NICKERSON BEACH, PART OF THE COUNTY PARK SYSTEM SINCE 1967, Nickerson Beach Park is 155 acres of a sun-drenched recreational facility. It is located along the Atlantic Ocean on Long Island's South Shore. The facility consists of Beach front, Campground, Fun Zone, Ball Fields, Beach Volleyball Courts, Cabanas and Lockers.The beach is approximately .5 miles long. The beach is home to a number of federally protected birds and grasses.  It is a great place to relax and soak in the beauty of nature.Athletics/Physical Activities:There are two new basketball courts in the "Fun Zone" and a basketball court by the cabana area;two tennis courts;and a new baseball field (permit required).The "Fun Zone" includes a skate park located inside a 160-by-100-foot fenced-in area. The skate park includes seven ramps of varying difficulty, with the lowest ones measuring two feet in height and the highest ones four feet. In addition, there are two railings for skate-boarders. During the summer season, the skate park is open seven days a week, but patrons are advised to call ahead for the schedule of hours. At other times of the year, excluding the winter, when the park is closed, the skate park is open only on weekends. Helmets must be worn by those using the skate park.Family/Kids:The Fun Zone consists of playground for children, two basketball courts and a skate park.

During the summer season, the skate park is open seven days a week, but patrons are advised to call ahead for the schedule of hours.

During the summer season, the skate park is open seven days a week, but patrons are advised to call ahead for the schedule of hours.

						<p>NICKERSON BEACH, PART OF THE COUNTY PARK SYSTEM SINCE 1967, Nickerson Beach Park is 155 acres of a sun-drenched recreational facility. It is located along the Atlantic Ocean on Long Island's South Shore. The facility consists of Beach front, Campground, Fun Zone, Ball Fields, Beach Volleyball Courts, Cabanas and Lockers.The beach is approximately .5 miles long. The beach is home to a number of federally protected birds and grasses.  It is a great place to relax and soak in the beauty of nature.Athletics/Physical Activities:There are two new basketball courts in the "Fun Zone" and a basketball court by the cabana area;two tennis courts;and a new baseball field (permit required).The "Fun Zone" includes a skate park located inside a 160-by-100-foot fenced-in area. The skate park includes seven ramps of varying difficulty, with the lowest ones measuring two feet in height and the highest ones four feet. In addition, there are two railings for skate-boarders. During the summer season, the skate park is open seven days a week, but patrons are advised to call ahead for the schedule of hours. At other times of the year, excluding the winter, when the park is closed, the skate park is open only on weekends.
