Riverfront Green South and Peekskill Bay Greenway Groundbreaking Ceremony Oct. 15

The City of Peekskill is pleased to announce the start of construction for the second phase of the City’s $8.3 million parkland redevelopment on the Hudson River waterfront.

The design of Riverfront Green South and Peekskill Bay Greenway includes a new 1-mile paved waterfront trail, a 3-acre expansion of Riverfront Green, a boardwalk across Travis Cove, two boat docks and gazebos, sculpture and signage, and an overlook near Charles Point Park with majestic views of the Hudson River.

Construction of Riverfront Green South and Peekskill Bay Greenway is funded by a New York State grant awarded through Empire State Development. This new park and trail are expected to be open to the public in late 2015.

WHERE: The ceremony will take place on the waterfront near the public boat launch, opposite the Peekskill train station. Take Route 9 to the Hudson Avenue exit, cross over the railroad tracks, turn left at the flagpole, and proceed to the boat launch.

WHEN: 2PM Oct. 15
