Eisenhower Park Through Time

By Richard Panchyk

Book Overview

Eisenhower Park's transformation from golf course to Long Island landmark is captured through vintage and modern images.

Eisenhower Park is one of Long Island's most beloved and well-known attractions. Larger than New York City's Central Park, the park is located on what was once the flat, wide open grassland known as the Hempstead Plains, which was the largest stretch of prairie east of the Mississippi River. This book offers a visual journey through the park's history, from its early days as the Salisbury Golf Links to its conversion into a park in the 1940s, and its continued growth through the present day, highlighting some of the key moments, famous visitors, and quirky places within the park in fascinating vintage and current images.
