Pierson Park

My friendly Unilocaler Gerardo A. told me that Tarrytown has one of the highest taxes in Westchester. I am glad I enjoyed seeing his taxes put to good use at Pierson Park. This beautiful park close to the Metro North Station and many of the riverside condos (or townhouses?) has glorious views of New Jersey, the river, and is a user friendly common area to chill. Families, singles, couples and pooches flock here in the evenings and weekends to enjoy the fresh air, and the view and to stroll along the Hudson River walk. Who needs tv when you can watch the setting sun and see the bridges and buildings across the river light up! The park is clean, safe, with ample seating and even a picnic area. Pierson Park hosts free concerts, and those high Tarrytown taxes mean good bands get signed up. The area is landscaped well, with enough grassy areas for people to bring their own chairs or blankets to lounge in front of the band shell. This is Tarrytown, not Central Park, and even with a crowd, you won’t have to fight for that bit on the grassy knoll. There’s room for many in this expansive park, which has tennis courts, a ball park, a playground for the kiddies. There’s even a restaurant and a small market. During the concert, the day care center in the park was even open so we could use the bathrooms. Tarrytown, thanks for letting me enjoy your taxpayers’ dollars at work!
