Last Chance To Update The Wishlist: Santa To Visit 8 City Parks

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — It's undeniable that a certain jolly benefactor from the North Pole has a special connection to New Rochelle and we have it on good authority that the city's world class parks are a big part of the reason why.

It makes perfect sense that Santa would choose to tour eight parks to bring holiday joy and a bit of fresh air to all of the good boys and girls in town on the final days before his big night delivering toys around the globe. Like the wildly popular drive-thru photo op with the big man at City Hall this past weekend, Kris Kringle is giving everyone on the "nice list" a chance to capture a socially-distanced picture and make last-minute edits to their Christmas wish list.

Santa's last chance New Rochelle parks tour will take place on Saturday. Since there hasn't been any measurable snow yet this season, he will forgo the sleigh in favor of a public works truck.

Santa will give a preview of his famed largess with special holiday treats for the kids.
