Travis Park

Travis Park is a neighborhood park in the Travis section of western Staten Island, providing recreational space for one of the borough's most isolated and distinct residential communities.

Travis is one of the smallest and most insular neighborhoods on Staten Island, with a village character that feels far removed from the urban intensity of the rest of New York City. The neighborhood was historically home to a linoleum manufacturing plant that employed many local residents.

The Travis neighborhood is surrounded by the William T. Davis Wildlife Refuge and other wetland areas, giving it a rural, almost island-within-an-island character that is unique among New York City neighborhoods.

Travis has maintained a strong sense of community identity, with local organizations and traditions that reflect its working-class heritage and geographic isolation from the rest of the borough.

Travis Park serves this tight-knit community with recreational facilities in a neighborhood that embodies the village-like character that distinguishes Staten Island from the other boroughs.
