Beyond its residential calm, Marine Park carries deep historical significance—most notably the Hendrick I. Lott House, dating back to around 1720. Once a rural marshland, the neighborhood has grown into a beloved community known for its green spaces, family-friendly atmosphere, and effortless access to both nature and recreation.
