NEW CITY, NY — Town of Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann and the Town Board will officially opened the new Councilman Mark Woods All-Inclusive Playground at Zukor Park during a dedication ceremony on Friday, June 20. The park is located at 31 Zukor Road in New City, NY.

The state-of-the-art playground was designed to be fully accessible for children and families of all abilities. Features include inclusive play equipment, a sun awning, safety surfacing, and new landscaping and walkways that ensure easy navigation for individuals with mobility challenges.
