Good Ground Park
Following more than 10 years of planning, Good Ground Park opened to the public in the Spring of 2017. This passive recreational park complete with amphitheater sits adjacent to Hampton Bays Main Street. Many concerts and events have been held to rave reviews. The park is intended to enhance the downtown Business area as well as provide a rich community resource. The community was very instrumental in the design and construction phase and will now take part in planning the activities in the park. Soon, a second children’s playground will be built. A permanent comfort station is also planned and coming this Spring, 1500 linear feet of a wooded walking trail will be constructed to connect the west end of the Park to the east end creating a nearly one mile walking circuit.
