New York State Assemblyman Jake Blumencranz joined with Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Syosset High School Dog Rescue Club to announce that he has secured $100,000 in state funds for the Town of Oyster Bay to construct a new dog park at Stillwell Park in Syosset. This grant will enable the community to provide a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs and their owners, fostering a vibrant space for socialization and recreation.
Assemblyman Blumencranz stated, “I’m proud to secure these funds for the design and construction of a new dog park in Syosset. 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.”
“We are thrilled to receive these grant funds from Assemblyman Blumencranz, which allows us to bring this much-needed amenity to Syosset,” said Supervisor Saladino. “The dog park will provide a dedicated space where residents and their pets can enjoy the outdoors and connect with our community.”
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.
Stillwell Park is already a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring trails, open spaces, and recreational facilities. The addition of the dog park will further enhance the park’s offerings, making it a hub for families and pet owners in the area.
Assemblyman Blumencranz and Supervisor Saladino are committed to enriching the quality of life in Syosset and creating spaces that bring people together. The new dog park is just one of the many ways the Town of Oyster Bay and New York State continue to invest in the community’s future.
