walking, running, biking, playing
Specious park with plenty to do for the entire family. Plenty of shade. Probably close to 5-6 miles of paths and walkways for walking / running / biking. Plenty of parking in multiple parking yards (free entrance and parking). multiple bathrooms and playgrounds in various locations. you can easily spend here the whole day.

Terrific facilities
Eisenhower Park has something for everyone. It is incredibly large and includes many ball fields, a lake, amphitheater, golf course, indoor pool, ice rink, etc. It's a great place to picnic with lots of shade and convenient parking. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

Great park but they should really allow DOGS!!!
Couples
Come on...Nassau county should be more pet-friendly instead of only grouping dogs to go to dog parks. For example...in Queens-Cunnigham Park is a great park which allows dog owners to walk freely with everyone else not segregated to a pen with other doggies. As long as pet-owners are responsible for their 4 legged creatures, fur kids and their loved ones...why not allow dogs to use the park and enjoy it like the rest of us. We all pay so much taxes I'm sure some of the $$$ can be divierted to do-do pickup. The politicians can understand the situation and be more supportive don't you think?

It's a real nice park with lots of summer events/concerts/charity walks. Located is Carltun Palm restaurant and golf playing areas. There's a lakeside theatre for special events, annual fireworks which is always a hit, lots of parking and even a building where there's a spetacular pool...go check it out!

Please be kind and consider allowing dogs to enjoy this park, ok? They should be allowed everywhere we all go!

Dangerous element
I recently went to visit to bring my 2 year old to the playground. I didn't feel safe the minute I got there. Within the hour that I was there my car window was smashed and something stolen from my car. It was quite an ordeal trying to clean all the glass out of my toddler's car seat and drive home with no window. The park police were great though. They said that was the 5th car theft and vandalism of the day. I wouldn't recommend this park.

Nice Park, High Entry Fee
Family
Since I was not a resident of Nassau County, I was charged a $10 entry fee which I thought was unfair and too expensive. I'm not against a fee, but it shouldn't have cost as much as a movie ticket. After all, I do live in-state. Other than that, the park was beautiful, spacious, well-maintained, family-friendly, perfect for bicycling, walking, picnicking, etc. Security on premises.

Hard to find the running trail
Couples
I was staying at a nearby hotel and had looked up the running route before I started my run. I ran along Merrick Avenue but you have to run over a mile before you can get into an area of the park that is safe to run. The main parkway into the park had fence up along the road so had to go in by the ice rink. I would have liked to run by the lake, but didn't really see the access point. There is fencing all around the park, I could see the lake area, but wasn't sure how far I'd have to go to get to it. I wound up on a trail by the softball fields. I noticed there weren't many people out running or walking so it is a safety concern as well and so I ran back out the way I came. I did a total of 5 miles, but felt like if they had better signage for running or walking I might have ventured further.

Walking in Eisenhower Park
This is the nearest park to where we were staying so we had the choice of visiting on a cool sunlight day. We had quiet walk around the lake and then visited the Veteran's memorial. The golf course was surprisingly empty but well manicured as usual. Being a weekday, the park areas mentioned was not crowded , it was rather peaceful and quiet at the time.
