No filter, no commercial development in sight or on site! Not a buildable lot. Just public access to serenity, quiet trails and outdoor classrooms that respect natural and cultural heritage – that’s the view from our park! Thank you to Westchester Magazine for highlighting this treasured spot in their current issue “Six Parks and Preserves Made for Walking in Westchester”.
Just this week, an American bald eagle could be spotted building its nest from twigs and grasses. The raptor has been seen numerous times soaring between our park and the adjacent Marshlands Conservancy gathering materials. Watch the exhilarating flight filmed by JHC volunteer Charlie Yang.
So bring your hiking boots and binoculars and enjoy not only our oasis but also the neighboring sanctuary. The two parks were once connected as one land mass and share a rich history. They are 2 of 5 properties landmarked by the US Department of the Interior and the National Park Service.
