Despite its bucolic-sounding name, the park is anything but. But there's a reason we chose Cedar Creek to launch our LI Outdoors series of park profiles. There is no park on Long Island that offers a greater diversity of sports, no park on Long Island that is so single-mindedly devoted to outdoor recreation. And those who do go to Cedar Creek are passionate about their pursuits. Phillips is a skater.
