I have lived in Marine Park for almost 8 years. It is safe neighborhood and everybody knows everybody which is what I like the most about it. I have met my closest friends in this neighborhood. My favorite part about Marine Park is that we are very patriotic. Driving down the street you will notice everyone has the American flag waving proudly outside their houses.

The cops are very helpful and so are the neighbors. We all come together making it easier to live. We look out for one another and we know each others names. However, we give each other privacy. Im close with my neighbors and we play all the time in you back yards.
