Most of the trees are gone too, there is no scrub left near the shore. Maybe it keeps the bug population down.

This park is a wonderful choice in Pawling, considering there's quite a bit to do here. There is a…read moreroad/pathway that's called Holiday Hills Ln, only accessed by authorized vehicles, which follows alongside Green Mountain Lake, and additional trails along it. There are even abandoned barns and buildings along the way, highlighting that. Towards the main parking lot, there is a bathroom house, a mini beach, a tennis court, and even a playground as an alternative. Definitely a must-stop while in Pawling.

Infested. Algonquin Park itself has a bunch of nice trails and it's so peaceful out there when the wind is blowing and you have a slice of pizza and some drinks from the place across the street. It's very family friendly and well kept. Don't remember any Canadian geese being out there actually, which was quite a surprise. Happy that the parks department for the town Newburgh takes care of this place.

The water levels for the stream apparently can vary quiet a bit, as we've seen them swell up to a river early spring versus the typical babbling brook. I hope efforts continue to maintain and preserve this natural space for all to enjoy.

We love Bowdoin Park for so many reasons. The park is so spacious with so many nooks and crannies…read morethat there's something for everyone. Multi use sports fields, swing sets, toddler play areas, great spaces for picnicking, and for my purpose, Dog exploring. My black lab mix has to sniff frequently to feel gratification. So our trips to Bowden Park happened roughly once a week so he can read all the "Social PEEdia.". Regardless of what time or day it is, you'll always find people enjoying the trail, walk, quiet, picnic, entertaining children, or using one of the several permanent gazebo structures to host a celebration. I think it's still possible to rent out the lodge for overnight stays and private parties. I would defer to them to confirm that There's a little chapel on site and I've never been inside, but it looks absolutely adorable. This could be a great place for a casual country wedding celebration and picnic in place of those high priced extravagant weddings. This is our third visit this month and I have failed to report in two other times. If you have a dog, this is a great place to visit but make sure you bring your 6 foot leash. It is mandatory Like all parks in the county, the park closes at dusk. Be respectful and carry your trash out with you if you can't find a receptacle of which there are many. And by all means, clean up after your pet and your children. Keep the Park beautiful for everyone. The location of Bowden Park is on the edges of the Hudson River. You can't see the river from everywhere but you know it's there parallel to the train path to New York City and up to Poughkeepsie

Driving…read morein leads to many things to do, a playground for the kids, and two big fields with one providing a baseball and soccer field. Picnic tables are scattered throughout the park along with pavilions. The pavilions are in great shape and in use. Bathrooms are provided in the main building. Also, be on the lookout for upcoming mini concerts, which are performed on the hilly field just as you enter. There are a total of six trails that are assigned a color, starting at one point and ending at a different location (with some reconnecting with the same path), except the blue trail, which does a loop, and also the Wappingers Greenway Trail, which passes through. I've enjoyed exploring, with decent views and scenery. The intersections of different paths need to be marked clearly, and instead, the sign is further in. Reading the map is key to not getting lost, which Bowdoin Park provides. There's a lot to offer for all ages, and it's a destination anyone won't regret along the Hudson River with a touch of nature.

This is a village park which contains a big field with some hills and gravel that does a big circular loop around the main building. The nice part about it is there are a lot of trees to provide shade. There are also benches that are provided throughout the park along with trash cans. It's a great place to go to if you need a day's rest or finding new places to enjoy nature. There is also a museum that contains the history of the two Dutchmen who settled here during the 18th century. Due to COVID, it is currently closed.

Vendors selling vinyl albums, jewelry, and other tchotchkes. Many have activities for children, quite a few food trucks, even one from Outback. There is limited seating to enjoy a real meal. The weather cooperated. Limited street parking, and the local PD was giving out tickets to violators. Otherwise, it was pleasant. The Messier homestead was open for guided tours and just to look around.

So this park, besides from being named after a wonderful Hudson Valley treasured resident and…read moreriverkeeper, is an amazing spot and host to a plethora of great events throughout the spring, summer and fall. From beer festivals to river sponsored fests, corn fest, pumpkin fest... the list goes on. It is conveniently located directly off the train and has pretty ample parking if you choose to drive. It's close to Main Street which is up the hill and a ton of local breweries and eateries. I continue to come back each year for all the great happenings!

There is a pathway that runs perimeter, highlighting the Hudson River all around, with a decent view that no one can't beat. For the kids, a playground is a feature at the park, with two separate sets. A small pavilion is also great for get-togethers, which can't be missed. Events are also held here throughout the year, which I've learned about by reading other reviews. It would be awesome to see more benches provided in the park, which would up my rating. Besides that, Pete and Toshi Seegar Park is a great one to take in.

It's not a park where someone will find only one to choose from, but there is multiple things that are offered. First off, there is a playground for the kids to use with a reasonable size featuring swings and also a recently updated section of little rides. They also provide a soccer and a baseball field mainly used for school teams, but it's still open to anyone. Last but not least, there is a path that does a loop around a lake which isn't long. Doing three laps would make it a mile. The only reason I'm leaving out a star is because of the path not being maintained. I've noticed some things on the ground where it shouldn't be, and it needs to be picked up. Just be on the look out for it. Other than that, it's worth a visit.
