At one block wide and three blocks long, Armacost Park is a suburban oasis providing reliable nesting habitat for herons and egrets on the busy Stone Harbor-Avalon corridor. You can experience the park by walking around its perimeter on the sidewalk, or spend some time at the elevated viewing platform just off the parking area. We recommend visiting Armacost in spring, summer and fall, to view the progress of nesting Great Egret, Black-crowned Night-Heron and Mallard duck. A studious observer may also find unusual birds during the peak of migration. There is also a modern playground, which may be the primary attraction in the winter months.
