Syosset gains new dog park thanks to state grant

Elected officials joined members of the Syosset High School Dog Rescue Club this week to announce a $100,000 grant to construct a new dog park at Stillwell Park in Syosset.

The announcement was made at Syosset High School on Oct. 28.

“I’m proud to secure these funds for the design and construction of a new dog park in Syosset,” said State Assemblyman Jake Blumencranz. “This project will enhance the overall experience at Stillwell Park by adding designated areas for large and small dogs, ensuring an enjoyable experience for pets and their owners alike.”

Stillwell Park is already a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring trails, open spaces, and recreational facilities. The dog park is expected to break ground in coordination with other improvements at Stillwell as the Town of Oyster Bay is expected to soon take title to the property from Nassau County.

Community members will have opportunities to participate in the planning process and stay updated through public meetings and announcements. To find out more, visit https://oysterbaytown.com/.
