Udalls Park Preserve

<p>The Udalls Park Preserve provides a serene walk through nature along a busy stretch of Northern Boulevard in Douglaston. Visitors can enter its nature trail at 245th Street across the street from St. Anastasia Church.</p> <p>The trail includes a tree-lined trail and a rocky path leading down to a small creek. Udall's Park is often so quiet that every bird chirp and rustle through its high grasses can be heard.</p> <p>The park is owned by the state and managed by the city's Department of Parks and Recreation. It is named after Richard Udall, who purchased a mill in 1833 near Udalls Cove, which is located along Little Neck Bay. </p>
