North-South County Trailway connects Dunwoodie Golf Course and Tibbetts Brook Park
Two county recreation areas border Dunwoodie: the Dunwoodie Golf Course and Tibbetts Brook Park. The 18-hole golf course's sloping terrain makes for exciting games, and less-experienced golfers may use the practice greens before hitting the main course. Separated from Dunwoodie by the Cross County Parkway, Tibbetts Brook Park, 1 mile away, comprises 161 acres of open fields, lakes and sporting areas. Near a mini golf course sits the crown jewel of Tibbetts Brook Park, an aquatic center featuring a maze of waterways, including a lazy river and a slide. The North-South County Trailway runs through Tibbetts Brook Park and into Dunwoodie, totaling 36.2 miles. Residents can run, walk or bike south to the Bronx in New York City or north to Yorktown. The trail passes by the H.F. Redmond Jr. Memorial Park in Dunwoodie, featuring 35 acres of green space with baseball diamonds and swing sets.
