Edgewood Oak Brush Plains Preserve is located at the juncture of the towns of Huntington, Babylon, and Islip. Only a portion of the site is in Huntington. The site was once a psychiatric hospital and is located next to Pilgrim State Hospital. After Edgewood Hospital’s closing, community members advocated for the preservation of the land. In 1987, the area was dedicated as a state nature and historic preserve, and the buildings were demolished. The preserve is now classified as the largest remnant of pitch pine-scrub oak barrens on Long Island, and the second largest in the State. While a majority of the preserve exists on the east side of Commack Road, a small section adjoins Otsego Park on the west side.
