Clarkstown Reopens Walkway At Congers Lake Park For Residents

CLARKSTOWN, NY — The Congers Lake Walkway opened Monday with social distancing precautions in place. Going forward, the park will be open from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. daily, with restrictions.

Only two access points will be open: residents can enter the park through the main parking lot at the Congers Community Center or the Lake Road entrance near Route 303 and Rick's Club American.

We urge residents to wear masks, said town Supervisor George Hoehmann. Town staff will have masks available for residents at each entrance.

The walkway will be open for walking, jogging, bike riding. Social distancing is required and staff will be present to ensure compliance. Upon entrance residents will be required to go to the right — the walkway is only one way at this time. The town has installed numerous one way direction signs and residents are asked to observe the new rule.

All amenities and facilities will remain closed including playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, bathrooms and the dog park.

The town will have staff at both entrances checking ID and ensuring social distancing.
