STUDY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF GLEN ISLANDS, WESTCHESTER COUNTY 

 (NEW YORK) PARK COMMISSION 



This property of 102 acres situated in Long Island Sound just outside the limits of New York City has 

 been purchased by the Westchester County Park Commission. This development plan illustrates how this type 

 of waterfront property may be used for the recreation of the people. In addition to the bathing beaches and bath- 

 houses, the plan includes a large recreation field, a children's playground, a restaurant and one or two shelters. 

 In order to make the park accessible it is proposed to construct a bridge with a 2O-foot roadway connecting the 

 island with the mainland. Note the large area set aside for the parking of cars.
