North Fork Preserve

Residents question the county's motivation for the construction of stormwater retention basins on the site and the need for the work, which they say is damaging wetlands and habitat.

The park, which is still in its infancy planning stages, would include at least 100 campsites, a possible equestrian center, a clubhouse, courts for volleyball, tennis and basketball, a camp store and the only seasonal cabins on parkland anywhere on Long Island.
