Long Island, NY Family-Friendly Hikes (Stroller-Friendly Edition)

February 15, 2021
-
Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

We already talked about Long Island family-friendly hikes that are not stroller-friendly, so now it’s time we talk stroller-friendly options! These spots are also great to do babywearing, or even as a date, because the trails and the water aren’t a bad start to any date day.

Planting Fields Arborteum

There are many spots here where you can go off the path, but there is a ‘main’ path, which is stroller-friendly. There are many big, beautiful trees and plants to explore on this build-you-own journey loop (and beyond)!

Bayard Cutting Arboretum Loop

This easy 3.7km loop is a fun place to learn about so many different plants, and you also get the benefit of the water view.

Jones Beach

Jones Beach is my favourite boardwalk on Long Island! A great distance to cover and it’s very wide for walkers, bikers, and strollers!

Long Beach

Long Beach has another enjoyable boardwalk.

Sunken Meadow State Park

The Sunken Meadow Boardwalk is much shorter than Jones Beach or Long Beach, but it’s a nice spot, plus there are other trails in Sunken Meadow State Park that you can check out, like Sunken Meadow Trail.

Massapequa Preserve Lake Trail

This about-10km adventure may be a little too long if you’re taking a baby, but it’s an out-and-back, so you can go as far as you’d like. It’s paved and shaded, so it’s perfect with a stroller.

Einsenhower Park

Eisenhower Park is an ideal spot for running or walking along the paved loop, or for monkeying around at the adult jungle gym (kid parks also available)!

Caumsett State Park

Caumsett State Park has so much to explore, and a beautiful, paved walking path…you can do the entire loop if you’re up for the full 8.4km. The horses are an enjoyable addition to this nature walk!

Happy Exploring, Stroller-Style!

Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm? The stuff. I Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm?

The stuff. I know this is a privileged point, so please be kind. I’ve always attempted to be a wannabe-minimalist (seeing as I have two of everything living between two places, but I want everything to have a purpose and a ‘home.’). 

I’ve very much noticed this be a trigger point for me since having kids, because J and I both have big families, and although their gift giving comes with so much heart and generosity, I’ve tried to find ways to bring in less stuff and to teach my kids to appreciate each gift, sooo less is more. 

Many years ago, my siblings adopted Sibling Christmas where instead of gifts, we have a special night out together! We love this tradition. After the overwhelm I felt this Christmas, being generously gifted Eberle gifts for now TWO kids, I asked J’s siblings if we can adopt a family-friendly event next year and remove all aunt/uncle/cousin gifts. Shout out to all my brother/sister-in-laws for getting on board. 

With C’s birthday party coming up, she asked for no gifts (OR a book as a gift).

Small steps, but always trying!!

Do you hang out in the shop with the kids for hours? Do you bring travel car seats and install them to get them home? Honestly, what have y’all done? Having another human help isn’t the solution here for me this time…😅

🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head I got a war 🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head
I got a warm body in bed
I'm doing alright right where I'm at
With what I have

[I got a Jeep, I got a dog]
I got what they call a dream job
Plenty to want, nothing wrong with that
But I'm happy with what I have

I got the air, good eyes to see
Got so much more than I'll ever need
Even the bad days ain't all that bad
With what I have🎶
