JOSEPH B. CLARKE RAIL TRAIL UPDATEThe New York State Department of Transportation continues to makeprogress on the completion of the rail trail. We are expecting a ribbon cut-ting ceremony to take place in the Spring of 2018. Please check our websitefor more information as we get closer to the completion of the project.

A Message from the SupervisorDear Orangetown Resident:Autumn in Orangetown is a beautiful and busy time of year. Afterrelaxing during the warm, lazy days of summer, we can enjoy coolerweather, incredible foliage, and all that our town parks have to offer.In Orangetown we are privileged to have hundreds of acres of parkswithin our borders, and I hope you get to explore them and takeadvantage of some of the wonderful programs run by our Parks andRecreation Department.Fall is the perfect time to take a hike! As the leaves begin to turn, Ioften head to Tackamack Park and walk up the Long Path a bit to seethe Clausland Mountain tunnels left over from the military trainingfacility. Just setting foot on the Long Path, that runs from NYC to Albany, intersecting withthe Appalachian Trail on Bear Mtn, makes me feel connected to our amazing state andcountry in a special way. Or bike, walk or jog on the paved Joseph B. Clarke Rail Trail - oneof the most visible and exciting additions to our parks system. When completed, 1.25 mileswill be added to the existing 2.5 mile trail, allowing residents to get from Blauvelt toOrangeburg, Sparkill, Palisades, Piermont, Grandview, South Nyack and Nyack.Tennis anyone? We have terrific tennis courts at Veterans Park, Cherry Brook Park, andIndependence Park. Kids need to climb, swing, and run? Bring them to one of our play-grounds, such as Sparkill Memorial Park or Pilgrim Court, or take a walk around the pondin Tappan and hop over the footbridge to the Tappan Library.The fall is the perfect time to try a new activity. Our Blue Hill and Broad Acres Golf Coursesremain open, weather permitting, until the end of the year and Orangetown seniors arealways entitled to reduced golf prices at these courses with a permit from the Parks Office.Under the leadership of Superintendent Aric Gorton, our Parks & Recreation Departmentoffers a myriad of programs, activities, trips, and events to get you active and involved.Again this year, we'll sponsor the Joe Clarke Fun Run and the Santa Claus 5K Run, as wellas pumpkin decorating, a costume parade, and Golf Under the Stars, just to name a few.I hope you’ll also take a moment to visit our Camp Shanks Memorial at the Walkway ofHeroes on Lester Drive, a wonderful site recognizing the important part Orangetownplayed in the history of World War II.We hope you visit our beautiful parks and avail yourself of the many other recreationalopportunities in the Town and Rockland County. As always, feel free to contact the Parks& Recreation Department or call or email me with your suggestions and comments.
