Cantiague Park
Cantiague Park
Cantiague Park has been part of the county park system since 1961 and is centrally located in Hicksville, just off the Northern State Parkway and east of the Wantagh State Parkway. When the park opened, it represented the second major park the County managed, in addition to Eisenhower Park. Cantiague Park was built in response to the needs of a growing county population. It was also the first park offering a swimming pool and an artificial skating rink.
Cantiague Park’s artificial turf field accommodates football, softball, baseball, soccer and lacrosse, including night games.
