Village of Nyack Memorial Park — Attraction in Town of Orangetown

We have been coming to this beautiful little park regularly since we moved to the area 5 years ago. We originally found it by searching for the nearest "beach". I wouldn't really call it a "beach", but there's a small sandy area on the other side of the rocks at the far end of the park where you can wade in the water and can even find some shells and smoothed rocks. I wouldn't recommend swimming there, however. The charm of this park though, is that despite it's small size it has a lot to see and do. If you park at the marina/boat launch area off Burd street (recommended) you can enter the park via the newly constructed wooden foot bridge and see plenty of ducks while getting a beautiful view of the river and Mario Cuomo/Tappan Zee bridge. Once crossing the bridge, there are pleasant benches in a partially shaded rocky area by the water, nice kids playground, baseball/sports field, gazebo, enclosed wooden overlook/dock with free binoculars, a quaint butterfly garden and the aforementioned "beach" area.

The Nyack Park Conservancy was founded by a group of passionate citizens in 2005, and it is the only charitable organization designated to raise funds for Nyack’s Village-owned parks and public spaces. The NPC wears many hats. It has raised funds that have enabled the Village to create new basketball courts, a dock for rowing vessels, the new children's playground, a butterfly garden, the Nyack skate park, a state of the art zero depth children’s splash pad, and a children’s summer program in Memorial Park.  The NPC has also funded scholarships benefiting the Village of Nyack Recreation Programs. Several years ago NPC took over Music on the Hudson from now disbanded Friends of the Nyacks. It provides wonderful musical events in Nyack Memorial Park throughout most of the summer. These concerts are free and provide an opportunity for all members of the community to get together. The series has...
