Lourdes Reyes

A wondeful place to spend time fishing, walking, jogging or just enjoying the day. It is super clean and well maintained. It has amazing views of the Long Island Sound.
The park has a marina, a beach, a large gazebo where you can sit and enjoy either your own meal or the one they have . I think the kitchen is open only during the weekend where they sell hot dogs hamburgers and fries. There is a special well designated picnic area, a playground for children and a place to play beach bolleyball or just play in the sand.
There is a marina and even a private events club within the same park area with an espectacular view and its own private parking lot. A great place to spend family, friend or solo time. You can bring your dogs as well and make sure to clean up after your dog as well.
Very recommendable . It also has a very small beach with its own entrance and its access is limited due to its size. The parking admission is 5.00 usd. Free if you are a resident of Westchester County.

A place filled with peace calm and beauty. Very recommendable place to relax enjoy and be present. The entrance of the temple from the road is marked by a White Buddha. The driveway leads you to the parking lot and to the main entrance of the complex which is made by 4 buildings. The entrance is marked by 2 stone lions and on each side of the entrance there are different representations of Buddha with different attributes. You will be walking on a beautiful dirt path where 2 stone elephants will greet you. There is a huge bell on the right side and a huge drum both of them covered by a red structure and only the monks have access to. The main Buddha inside is amazing. You must leave your shoes and go inside the hall either barefooted or wearing the sandals they provide outside the temple for you to use. There is no cost but please be mindful to leave a donation.
There are 2 temples the main Buddha and the Kuan Yin . This last one, has no access for visitors. There is a gift shop that gets really busy, a cafeteteria which serves food from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm . The food is made by the monks and I think it is a good way to help them maintain the temple. There are seats outside the cafeteria and the bathrooms are found underneath the main temple and the only access to them is from outside. There are wooden paths connecting the buildings which are really beautiful and helpful for people with walking disabilities in case they cannot go upstairs.
Before you leave, don't forget to see the lake where you will find a beautiful image of KuanYin . The whole area is a place of peace !
