The park also includes over 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of walking paths, as well as a model aerodrome.[2][6] Furthermore, Cedar Creek Park serves as the northern terminus of the Jones Beach Bikeway.[7][8][9]

History
The land now consisting of Cedar Creek Park was acquired by Nassau County in 1975. It established Cedar Creek County Park that same year.[3]
During several months following Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, Cedar Creek Park was the site of a relief and assistance center, providing services of the American Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and a central location for property insurance companies to advise customers regarding the filing of claims for property damage.[11]
