Park Spotlight: Gerry Pond Park

Address: 10 Papermill Rd, Roslyn, NY 11576

Gerry Pond Park has been a source of grounding for me over the past few years. I am a frequent visitor to the park, along with my dog Mochi, who also loves roaming the expansive fields and eyeing the geese wandering about. Gerry Pond Park is registered in the National Register of Historic Places, meaning that the park has deep historical significance, lending to its preservation. The Roslyn Landmark Society  archives depicts the rich history of Main Street, Roslyn during the early 1900s when the park was first built.  Even when looking at old maps of Roslyn during the late 1800s, the ponds definitely played a huge role in the landscape of the village. ​There was already a vibrant community of people who lived there, and possibly enjoyed the area of Gerry Pond Park the same way that we do.
