Come visit the forest!
Walking in High Rock Park
High Rock Park, located at the top of Nevada Avenue, off Rockland Avenue, is a great place to begin your winter visit to the Greenbelt, in the heart of Staten Island.
Gather your friends and family for a walk along the gently sloping, well marked trails of the Greenbelt.

With the absence of leaves, the winter sky bathes the forests of the Greenbelt in a special light found only during this enchanting season, a light that reveals many of the elusive secrets of the natural world.
Our trail map can help you plan your visit.
The forest in winter is a peaceful, quiet, welcoming place. A fresh snowfall can make it seem almost magical.

Remember, when the snow is deep enough, the Greenbelt is a great place to use your snowshoes or cross-country skis. And one of the best places for snow sledding on Staten Island is at the Greenbelt's LaTourette Park and Golf Course on Richmond Hill Road!
