More than ever, #ParksAreEssential

Westchester Parks Foundation is proud to continue to #StandUpForParks, and recognize their critical importance to our county. In 18,000 acres of county parkland, community members can find safe and beautiful places to play ball, sit on a bench and read, walk with a friend, hike through the woods, picnic with family, and find peaceful open space. Here in Westchester, we are lucky to find all of this just outside our doorsteps. Parks are our sanctuaries, healthy places where people can safely go and tend to their physical and mental well-being. We are honored to support these public spaces, and we do so each year with the support of our dedicated board, our enthusiastic donors and contributors, our tireless volunteers, and our many partners. Thanks to everyone who supports us, in 2021 a record year of volunteer hours and sweat equity were contributed to our parks, a safe and vital day camp for Westchester’s most vulnerable children happened at Tibbetts Brook Park, thousands of hours of safe recreational opportunities were created at programs such as Bicycle Sundays and Winter Wonderland, and creative and long-needed projects continue to develop throughout our park system.
