Mattituck Park District
1685 Bay Ave, Mattituck, NY 11952, USA
The Mattituck Park District put in a meadow this past April (2025) with 43 different native successional blooming species of perennials and shrubs totaling 1650 individuals along a half mile walking path. The property used to be an old, unused baseball field. We have already seen a tremendous diversity of pollinators and many Monarchs are enjoying the nectar at any given time of day! The decision was not without controvers. While many in the community love the transformation, there are also many people that wish it was still a baseball field (even though it wasn't being used). We're hopeful that as people see the meadow evolve and fill out and grow, they will come to enjoy it!
