We couldn't be more grateful to all the volunteers over the years who have helped beautify the 23-acre Jay Estate (wearing every color T-shirt from yellow to purple)!! From uncovering hidden flagstone paths, to raking leaves and planting annuals. We've participated in every I Love My Parks Day with Parks &amp; Trails NY and NY State Parks since 2012! Partner groups have included the Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Mount Vernon Youth Bureau, Yale Alumni, Con Edison, Rye Neck School, Mamaroneck School, Stanford Alumni, the Rye Garden Club, Rye Sustainability Committee and many more.&nbsp;
Sign up yourself, your family or your group today! Click on the link below and select the Jay Estate. Ideal for students seeking community service hours or adult groups who just want to give back! Event starts at 9am and finishes at 12pm but you can help out for just an hour or two - whatever works for your schedule.
And join us for FREE ice cream from Jimmy's Soft Serve afterwards as our small way of saying thank you.

A new independent bookstore, Book RePort, will open its doors on May 15, 2026, bringing books, coffee, and community programming to the heart of Port Washington. Founded by local residents Mara Silverstein and Kathleen Schechter, Book RePort was created in response to the closure of a beloved neighborhood bookstore that once served as a gathering place for the community. What began as a shared desire among residents to bring a bookstore back to town evolved into a grassroots effort and, ultimately, into a new business built on that collective energy. “Book RePort is more than a bookstore,” said Silverstein. “It’s a space for connection, conversation, and community. We wanted to create a place where people feel welcome to spend time, discover books, and engage with one another.”The 1,500-square-foot store, located at 40 Main Street, will feature a curated selection of books for all ages, a small café serving coffee and tea, and a thoughtfully selected assortment of games, stationery, and gifts. The space will also host regular programming, including children’s storytime, book clubs for all ages, author events, community gatherings, and private events.
















Schechter, who brings a background in literacy and a deep passion for children’s literature, emphasized the importance of creating an accessible and engaging environment for young readers. “We want kids to feel just as much ownership of this space as adults,” she said. “Books can be a powerful way to build confidence, curiosity, and connection. As part of that commitment, we are launching our ‘Book RePorters’ program, a youth council for students in grades 3 and up that will empower our youngest leaders to help shape the books we carry.”









Book RePort is the only independent bookstore within approximately 15 miles and is positioned to serve not only Port Washington but also the surrounding communities. Located less than 45 minutes from Manhattan and one block from the train station, the store aims to become a destination for author events and literary programming.



Book RePort has demonstrated strong community support, with a base of founding members and a series of pre-opening events that have drawn audiences ranging from intimate gatherings to crowds of over 200 attendees.


A grand opening weekend is planned for May 15–17 and will include special events, programming, and opportunities for the community to experience the space.
