40°46′18″N 73°32′46″W / 40.771691°N 73.546040°WCantiague Park is a public park maintained by the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Museums, located in Hicksville, New York.
Cantiague Park was opened by Nassau County to the public in 1961 in response to a growing population.[1] It was the second major park opened by the county, the first being Eisenhower Park.[2] Several of the facilities at the park were designed by Valley Stream-based Frederic P. Wiedersum Associates.[3]
In the 2000s, Cantiague Park was one of several parks Nassau County considered transferring ownership of to the local towns (in this case, transferring control of Cantiague Park to the Town of Oyster Bay).[4] The park ultimately remains owned by Nassau County.[2]
