Martin "Bunky" Reid Park (also known as Martin Reid Town Park) is a park in New Cassel, in Nassau County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. It is located within and operated by the Town of North Hempstead.
Description
The park is located in New Cassel, New York, and is named for Martin "Bunky" Reid (1951-1993), a prominent local who died of colon cancer.[1][2][3] It features basketball courts, a pool, shuffleboard courts, horseshoe pits, a playground, picnic areas, and various sports fields.[1]
