PLATE No. 57. KINGSLAND POINT PARK, TARRYTOWN, NEW YORK 

 Property of the Westchester County Park Commission. 



This playfield-park of 93 acres has some of the characteristics of a large park. It provides abundant facilities 

 for land and water sports, as well as opportunities for the more quiet forms of recreation. Note the many struc- 

 tures for the use of persons using the various park units bathhouse, boathouse, shelter near auditorium, field 

 house near athletic field and the "Community Service House" near children's playground. Ample parking space 

 is provided near bathing beach. The area set aside for the picnic grove borders on the river and is apart from the 

 other areas. Much of this park area was in marsh land. The lake was made by dredging and the materials taken 

 from it were used for filling the playground area at the southerly end.
