Zukor Park in New City has been rebuilt from the playground out. The Town of Clarkstown has turned its old playground there into an all-inclusive play space and added pickleball courts, a new walking path, a turf soccer field and batting cages for Little League.

The town laid out the work in a recent update on its parks, which covers projects in nearly every Clarkstown hamlet. Zukor Park, in New City, the county seat of Rockland County, has the longest list.

What is at Zukor Park now

  • An all-inclusive playground. The old playground was rebuilt as a play space designed so children of all abilities can use it together.
  • Pickleball courts. New courts, part of a wider push by the town to add pickleball.
  • A walking path. A new path around the park for walkers who want a loop rather than a field.
  • A turf soccer field. Turf drains faster than grass, so games and practices can go on after rain that would close a natural field.
  • Little League batting cages. Practice cages for the town's youth baseball and softball players.

Elsewhere in New City

The Street Community Center in New City has new fitness equipment for adults and seniors, bought as part of the same round of work.

The rest of the town

Zukor Park is one piece of a broader Clarkstown parks program. The town has upgraded every one of its basketball courts with new backboards, nets and resurfacing, and has put turf on a number of sports fields across the town. Other hamlets are getting their own projects:

  • Congers: The Congers Lake Memorial Park playground has new surfacing and equipment.
  • Central Nyack: A community garden opened this summer, the community center and its basketball courts were renovated, and the town bought land across from the community center for a playground and splash pad set to open in spring 2027.
  • Nanuet: At Lake Nanuet, the pool's shallow end was resurfaced and the pool repainted, Little League fields got turf infields, and work is starting on a larger inclusive playground on the upper level.
  • Germonds: A full turf multipurpose field and turf infields on the existing ball fields.
