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[edit]
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]
