Lace up! This Road Trip: Close to Home takes you to Christopher Morley Park for fun and games.

The 98-acre park in Roslyn, named after poet and author Christopher Morley, is packed full of activities and history. His retreat, called the Knothole, is on site.

There's so much to do at the park. It's the perfect place to play on the basketball courts. There's also golf, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and you can even play chess - but be sure to bring your own equipment.

And if the weather is not cooperating, be sure to make a reservation to play tennis indoors.

For the little ones, there's a big playground. And for the fur babies, a dog run.

You could also walk your dog on a leash on the walking trail - it’s paved the whole way, so it’s great for strollers too.

For more of a challenge, hit the exercise stations.

The most popular thing to do at the park this winter is ice skating. You need a reservation, and right now it’s for Nassau County residents only.
