Cantiague Park was opened by Nassau County to the public in 1961 in response to a growing population.[1] It was the second major park opened by the county, the first being Eisenhower Park.[2]
In the 2000s, Cantiague Park was one of several parks Nassau County considered transferring ownership of to the local towns (in this case, transferring control of Cantiague Park to the Town of Oyster Bay).[3] The park ultimately remains owned by Nassau County.[2]
The park features a 1,878 yard, 9-hole golf course and a driving range. For families, there is also an 18-hole miniature golf course.[2]
Ice Skatingedit
Cantiague Park is home to an indoor-skating-rink that has been used in the past by both professionals and "regular" people. Olympic gold medalist Nancy Kerrigan performed there in 2004 and the New York Islanders practiced in this facility from 1979 to 1992.[2]
