LaTourette Park parks

LaTourette Park, like much of the surrounding area, was once the farm property of David (1786-1864) and Ann (1794-1862) LaTourette. The LaTourettes first established their farm in 1830. Over time the farm became one of the top producing family-run farms on Staten Island, renowned for its superb produce. In 1928, the LaTourette family sold their farm to the City of New York. The site was transferred to Parks in 1955 and was designated a New York City Landmark in 1973. Although the original farmhouse was demolished, the LaTourette's 1870 mansion is now used as a club house for the park's golf course. In 1982, the mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Miller Field parks

World War Veteran's Park at Miller Field—part of Gateway National Recreation Area—was named for Captain James Ely Miller, who was the first American aviator killed in combat in France during World War I. Today, Miller Field serves as the site of many sports and recreation facilities as well as an escape to nature for many New Yorkers. Its Swamp White Oak Forest is known locally as a secluded spot to see a wide variety of birds.

One of the four, New Dorp Beach, was once the home of the second permanent European settlement in Staten Island. Today, these beaches and wetlands help fight against erosion and flooding in nearby neighborhoods.
