USA / New York / East Meadow /
 golf course, park, meadow

Eisenhower Park is centrally located in East Meadow, New York bordered by Hempstead Turnpike on the south and Old County Road on the north. At 930 acres, it is larger than Central Park, with much of the acreage devoted to three 18-hole golf courses, including the Red Course, host to the annual Commerce Bank Championship (Champions Tour). The course was designed by Devereux Emmet in the 1940's.

On October 13, 1969, the park was rededicated as the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Park at a ceremony attended by the 34th President's grandson, Dwight D. Eisenhower II, and his wife, Julie Nixon Eisenhower.
