Nostrand and Howard Avenue Pocket Park
The newest pocket park in the Village, soon to be officially dedicated, is located at Nostrand & Howard Avenues. This gem-in-progress is a site being restored under the leadership of the Committee for the Environment member Kate Dehais, along with residents and environment-loving friends from other parts of the county. This once unassuming corner is being transformed into a garden with native plants, trees, shrubs, and pollinator plants alongside the Mamaroneck River. Paths are being constructed, and plans for benches are in the works. Interested in lending a hand? Email the Committee for the Environment: cfte@vomny.org
