Allison Pond Park

Mid Island

"a lovely bit of shelter from the storm of modern life"
"the only place I could think of to walk my dog out of the heat"
Tiny waterfall, deer, fox, and fungi year-round

Beyond the small pond lies Staten Island's secret: a trail through old-growth woods with babbling brooks, stone ruins, and a tree-stump amphitheater connecting two ponds.
