Greenwood Lake Centennial Park

Set in a captivating lakefront locale, amidst verdant hills and spectacular vistas, the Village of Greenwood Lake Centennial Park is designed to represent the culmination of the village's 2024 Centennial celebration, reflecting its unique and remarkable history as the vacation spot of choice for the elite and working classes, and cherished home for generations of families who built a resilient, civic-minded community.

The park is situated steps away from the former Windermere landing that welcomed visitors from nearby cities who were transported, by steamboats and private launches, from the Sterling Forest Railroad Station to the many majestic hotels that dotted the lake's shores.

Among those seeking a respite from the heat, congestion and din of the cities were many celebrities, including stars of stage and screen, vaudevillians, heads of state, inventors and major sports figures including prominent boxers who trained for major bouts at the lake.

Names of some of these individuals who had a major impact on Greenwood lake's history, such as Babe Ruth and Joe Louis, as well as some of its historic places, such as Chapel Island, will be engraved on pavers on the distinctive walkways that are the major design element of the Centennial Park which will, no doubt, attract visitors for years to come, as well as promoting Greenwood lake's fascinating history which continues to the present day.
