The hamlet bordering South Oyster Bay is also popular for its restaurants, marinas and recreational areas, including John J. Burns and Marjorie Post parks, the 423-acre Massapequa Preserve and the Field of Dreams park on Old Sunrise Highway.
The Town of Oyster Bay has approved a new development, The Seasons at Massapequa, for 128 multi-family homes, 54 townhouses and 30 "next generation" housing units for first-time home buyers who will be selected by lottery.
