CURRAN, MANGANO, MUSCARELLA CELEBRATE EARTH DAY WITH HALLS POND PARK CLEAN-UP IN WEST HEMPSTEAD

Assemblyman Brian Curran (Lynbrook-21st AD, Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, and, County Legislator Vincent Muscarella recently celebrated Earth Day by hosting a park clean-up at Halls Pond Park in West Hempstead. This was Curran’s fourth year hosting a community clean-up event.

“Continuing this tradition is something that has become very important to me,” said Curran. “Keeping our West Hempstead parks clean and preserved is important so that the entire community can enjoy their beauty. Our parks are such beautiful resources for our community and it’s up to us to make sure they remain clean.”

“There is no better example of neighborhood spirit than when a group of residents gather together and volunteer their time to better their community,” said County Executive Mangano. “Working together they will make an immediate impact on this beautiful preserve and foster a sense of community pride.”

Centrally located in West Hempstead on Nassau Boulevard and Hempstead Avenue, this 11-acre park includes a 5.5-acre pond with a walkway and a wooded area on its north side. Halls Pond is a popular local setting for quiet walks and community activities. The park is one of several County properties that were originally designed for drainage purposes and were later turned into public parks. Halls Pond is made up of three contiguous parcels of land acquired by the County between 1956 and 1970.
