Picturesque Mount Loretto Park

by adventerrtravel22 - last update: Oct 1, 2004

Mount Loretto Church

Can be seen from Hylan Blvd. A Classic style church.

Entrance to the Park

is on the SouthEastern side of Hylan Blvd. Walk down the car path towards the water and make a left at the fork in the road.

Cliffs

just after the fork, they'll be 20-30 foot cliffs looking off into Raritan Bay towards New Jersey. A Spetacular scene.
SI Beach

Clean water

on Staten Island. Yes, you can see the the bottom of the water. In this pic you can see the sand and rocks below. This was taken from above the Cliffs.

The Lighthouse

as you make your way up the hill you'll see plenty of birds that nest in the tall grass and then the lighthouse on top of the hill.
SI Lighthouse
Picket Fence around LightHouse

Rosary Beads

Don't know who put these Rosary beads on almost all the pickets of the fence surrounding the lighthouse. This property was once owned by the Church, they used it as a orphanage. This is why there are so many rosary beads. It's almost like a religious shrine, very peaceful.

Great view

It kinda reminds me of Ireland. You can see a good distance, nothing but trees, bushes and landscape with the church in the distance. This picture was taken from atop the hill near the lighthouse. You can see cars running along Hylan Blvd. if you look close enough.
Mount Loretto Park
Ponds in the park

Many ponds in the area

if you explore enough you'll see plenty of ponds. Stay on the trails. There are small streams that run thru the grass and you might fall into one. Also, many birds nest in the tall grass and you'll disturb their habitat.

 I almost went to Wagner College . . . I've often wondered what I missed out on by not choosing it and experience life on Staten Island. Thanks for the tips!
