Some of our Favorite Picnic Spots in Staten Island

By Angel Strauch August 19, 2019

My kids love the idea of going on a picnic, so we pack up what seems like half of our refrigerator a few times a year and head out to one of our favorite  picnic spots.


We’re lucky, in Staten Island, to have so many great picnic spots to choose from! Here’s some of my family's favorite picnic spots in Staten Island:


Location: Alice Austen House 

Features: Picnic Areas, Garbage Cans, Benches and more 

What my kids love: the boats and fisherman 

What I love: The view and the happiness my kids get when a big barge passes by. 

Location:  The Beach

Features: Lots of places to sit, parks close by, prime seashell hunting.

What my kids love:  sand play, the water, and they have lots of space to run 

What I love: The relaxation everyone gets from being at the water.


That’s my family’s list, but I bet your family has their own favorite Staten Island picnic spots! I’d love to know where they are. Drop me a line on Facebook  or email me at angelstrauch@macaronikid.com.


Have a great time on your picnic adventure, and remember...don’t forget the napkins!
