Antisemitic Graffiti Found In Rockland County Park

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — More anti-Semitic grafitti was found in Rockland County Tuesday, this time in Kakiat Park.

The Rockland County Sheriff’s Office and Division of Environmental Resources were immediately notified and took swift action to investigate and cover up the symbol, said County Executive Ed Day, adding that "lack of visibility does not diminish the hate behind the message."

"I am disgusted and angered by this abhorrent vandalism once again surfacing in our beautiful County," Day said. "Words matter and hateful language such as this is an insult to the people of Rockland. My administration vows to work with law enforcement to find and hold the criminals behind this responsible."

The park, in the western corner of the county off Route 202 and crossed by the Mahwah River, is known for its dog park, picnic areas and trails connecting to Harriman State Park and Dater Mountain.
