Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “Westchester County Parks offers so much more than a natural outdoor experience. Its art displays are truly a wonderful additional perk of our parks system.”
Commissioner of the Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation, Kathy O'Connor said, “The Art in the Park program is a great way to display the works of local artists and Ward Pound Ridge Reservation is a naturally beautiful venue to do so.”
Admission is free; parking is $5 with Park Pass, $10 without Park Pass, every day from Memorial Day through Labor Day; weekends only after Labor Day.
Art in the Park features various exhibits that always include a connection to nature.
