A Message from the Supervisor With the summer of 2021 winding down, it is time to turn our attention to the fall season that lays ahead of us. Unfortunately, with the COVID’s Delta variant upon us, our daily lives are still being affected by the pandemic. But not to worry, the Orangetown Parks and Recreation Department is working hard to keep our parks and other outdoor amenities safe for everyone to enjoy. There is no better place to get out and enjoy the foliage than from one of the trails within Orangetown’s extensive network of State, County, and Town parks here in the Lower Hudson Valley. I want to thank the Parks Department for their continued commitment to offering outstanding programs and maintaining the beauty of our parks and recreational resources to enrich the quality of our life here in Orangetown. From well-organized sporting programs to recreational classes, Orangetown provides a wide selection of fun family-oriented activities for residents of all abilities. Our staff's mission is to deliver quality, affordable programming within a safe environment to meet the needs of an ever-changing community. I encourage residents to look through the Fall Brochure to find an activity that meets their interest. Don’t stop be-leafing and happy fall! Sincerely, Teresa M.
