Bethpage State Park is best known for its five world-class golf courses, including the world-renowned Black Course, which was the site of the U.S. Open Championship in 2002 and 2009, the Barclays in 2012 and 2016, the PGA Championship in 2019, and will host the 2025 Ryder Cup. Visitors also flock to the park to use the picnic facilities, playing fields, tennis courts, bridle paths, hiking and biking trails, and cross-country skiing trails. Bethpage State Park houses a restaurant and catering facilities, a Golf Pro Shop, and a driving range.

The American Airpower Museum operates as a non-profit 501(c)(3) aviation facility and educational foundation with state charter status. This distinctive institution stands out because its collection of historical aircraft remains largely functional, with regular flights conducted during spring and summer. Situated at the historic Republic Airport in Farmingdale, NY, the facility occupies land first developed in the 1920s by Fairchild and Grumman Aviation. The site later housed Seversky Aviation in the 1930s, which transformed into Republic Aviation in 1939. The company’s P-47 Thunderbolt, introduced in 1941, became World War II’s most extensively manufactured fighter, exceeding 15,000 units. Republic continued its legacy by producing the F-84, F-105, and A-10 fighters at this Long Island location. Currently, the museum resides in one of only three surviving Republic hangars.
