The Laurelton Greenway and North Woodmere Park Loop offers a refreshing jogging experience through varied landscapes in Nassau County.

It's a moderate 7.6-mile (12.2 km) route with a gentle 47 feet (14 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking about 1 hour and 14 minutes to complete.
This popular local route is generally accessible due to its low elevation and mostly paved surfaces, though the full loop requires good fitness. North Woodmere Park, a key highlight, provides amenities like sports fields and picnic areas, making it a great spot for a longer outing. Consider starting your jog in the morning to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before the park gets too busy.
Beyond just a jogging path, the Laurelton Greenway is part of a larger planned greenway system in New York City, aiming to connect significant destinations. North Woodmere Park itself spans over 100 acres, offering a picturesque setting and opportunities for birdwatching across from the Hook Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, adding a touch of nature to your workout.
