Hicksville: Sports, Culture and Recreation

If you’re looking for a hotel in Hicksville, it helps to consider the area’s different attractions: Cantiague Park brings together sports facilities, the Hicksville Gregory Museum combines natural and regional history, and Broadway Commons offers shopping and entertainment.

Sports at Cantiague Park

Cantiague Park is centrally located in Hicksville, right off the Northern State Parkway and east of the Wantagh State Parkway. It can be reached via the Long Island Expressway, Exit 41 South. The artificial turf field accommodates football, softball, baseball, soccer and lacrosse; night games are also possible. The park also has a 9-hole golf course with a par of 30. This gives the park a range of sporting options: different sports on the artificial turf field, as well as golf on the nine-hole course. If you’d like to include sports in your stay, you can decide which options interest you based on these facilities. The road information and specific exit also help you find your way if Cantiague Park is part of your plans.

Museum and History at Heitz Place Courthouse

The Hicksville Gregory Museum offers educational and cultural exhibits and services on earth and environmental sciences, natural history, and Long Island history. Its subject matter gives a visit both a scientific and a regional-historical focus. The museum is located in the Heitz Place Courthouse, a building constructed as a town hall in 1895 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The building’s history provides another historical connection alongside the exhibits on Long Island. The museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Check the opening hours before your visit, as they may change.

Entertainment and Walks at Broadway Commons

Broadway Commons is a regional shopping center in Hicksville, with convenient, central access to the Long Island Expressway and the Northern and Southern State Parkways. For a family night out, visitors can enjoy ROUND1 Bowling and Amusement; Showcase Cinema De Lux Broadway is another entertainment option there. The specific entertainment offerings may change. Broadway Commons also gives walkers a safe, climate-controlled place to get moving year-round, seven days a week; hours may vary on holidays. For planning purposes, the activities can be distinguished as follows: ROUND1 and the cinema offer entertainment, while the walking option is specifically intended for walkers.

Sports Programs for Adults

The Hicksville Athletic Center adds to the area’s sports options with programs for men and women ages 18 and older. Sports programs include volleyball, badminton and basketball; fitness programs include yoga, Zumba, Pilates, cardio kickboxing and ballroom dancing. The age requirement applies to the listed programs and should be considered when planning.
