Leeds Pond Preserve

       Summer time is almost here and for us at the Science Museum, the transition into summer brings with it our busiest time of the year. Over the next few weeks we will be working hard to prepare the best summer experience any child could have on Long Island. As we bust out the basketball hoop and dust off our beakers, we can't help but take notice of the beautiful scenery that is Leeds Pond Preserve. Leeds Pond is a 35 acre preserve located in Plandome, directly between Port Washington and Manhasset, which over looks the Manhasset Bay.
       The preserve is home to several different species of trees and plants as well as rabbits and an immense variety of birds. Take a walk on the trails and you will pass an old farm house ruin, which gives the preserve a sense of history. Travel a bit further and you will be able to walk along a stream that runs directly to Leeds Pond. The trail along the Pond has a bench where many visitors sit and gaze upon the beautiful pond and all the ducks floating on top. Leeds Pond Preserve is an excellent home for the Science Museum of Long Island as well as the perfect place for your child to visit and join one of our science camp weeks. So what are you waiting for? Register today!
