A wooded and narrow 3-acre neighborhood park, Stannards Brook Park is bisected by a winding brook with flowering plants alongside. The park includes a trail for strolling as well as several benches and three bridges that span the stream to connect to residential streets on the east side of the park. The park is also part of the New York State Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat in Manhasset Bay and an important bird sanctuary. Stannards Brook was acquired by the Country in 1944, originally for drainage purposes.

In October 2009, Nassau County announced the $840,000 renovation of this park. The work, planned for early spring in 2010, will include new entrances with pergolas, as well as new lighting, fencing, guard rails, bridges, pathways, and benches. In addition, new wetland and upland landscaping materials will be planted and educational features added. The existing stream channel will also be realigned and the culverts modified to reduce flooding.
