In spring it’s full of large frogs, which produce large numbers of tadpoles which in turn attract water birds such as cormorants, egrets and herons like the green heron below (taken at the Law Park Pond, but not during the current walk)

Some kind of “bike fest” seemed be taking place in Law Memorial Park as I passed through. Looks like it’s something to do with the Empire State Ride.

The Pavilion (which overlooks the Pool) and Pool are located in Law Memorial Park. The old pool house was seriously damaged by fire in 2001 and was subsequently torn down and rebuilt. It now looks pretty much as it did before the fire apart from the addition of a brand-new patio sporting picnic tables complete with umbrellas. Additional seating can be found inside. The pool is extremely popular in Summer.

This building houses the Village Library, the Vescio Community Center, the Village Recreation Department and the Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society where I volunteer. The building has been significantly enlarged over the years. The central part of the building was once a train station: the Briarcliff stop on the Putnam Line. The library is situated right next to Eastern side of Law Memorial Park.
