 The Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation is one department with three different but related jobs: to provide beautiful parks to play in, to host events and activities that give you lots of good reasons to visit our parks often, and to protect the lands that you have entrusted to our stewardship.
The Westchester County Parks system spans nearly 18,000 acres and offers some of the most beautiful scenery in the northeast. We have nearly 50 parks and recreational areas where you can hike, swim, bicycle, fish, skate and picnic, or just spend quiet time in the outdoors.
Each weekend a wide range of educational, recreational, entertainment and sporting events is offered for people of all ages and interests. County Parks has the distinction of being the first county in New York State to become accredited by the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA).  | Parks and Recreation
Grab a coat and head to your favorite county park to warm up by taking a hike through the woods or a walk or jog on a paved trail. Cross country skiing, sledding, snowshoeing and ice skating in the parks are great activities when the temperatures drop. For some indoor fun, there’s the climate-controlled Playland Ice Casino, where the ice is always perfect. And don’t miss the monthly indoor farmers market at the County Center.
