A one way single track, roller coaster. It has some difficult climbs and technical descents with lots of discarded bricks loose and embedded into the trail that were discarded years ago. Follow the teal paint blazes. Some blind turns so call out or ring a bell. Be nice, say hi.
History: A railroad spur completed in 1873, known as the Bethpage Branch of the Central Railroad of Long Island, ran to a brickworks plant which had opened in the Old Bethpage area in the 1860s. The brickyard plant continued operations until 1981.Trail originally created by Frank Peckham and John Reichel

      My favorite trail in Bethpage Skate Park, kinda cool how there are just chunks of bricks everywhere, it adds a uniqueness to the terrain i don’t think you will find anywhere else
