  • Chapter 7 Recreation, Open Space and Cultural Resources Planning Base Studies Village of Rye Brook, New York
    Chapter 7 Recreation, Open Space and Cultural Resources Planning Base Studies Village of Rye Brook, New York CHAPTER 7 RECREATION, OPEN SPACE AND CULTURAL RESOURCES 7.1 Overview The Village of Rye Brook has close to 3,000 acres of open space, which may be found in public parks and schools, along parkways and natural waterways, at privately-owned country clubs, and within housing developments and corporate parks. These areas are variably designated for both active and passive recreation, open or limited access, or for natural resource conservation. Rye Brook’s parks and open spaces serve as places of recreation and respite, as community gathering places, centers of learning, and as reflections of its culture and history. Municipal parks and open space account for approximately 34.7% of total land area in the Village of Rye Brook, approximately 0.25 acres per resident. Residents also benefit from nearby regional parks and facilities owned and operated by neighboring municipalities. The Village is located in a region that is rich in recreational re- sources. Its neighbors within Westchester include the City of Rye, the Village of Port Chester, the Town of North Castle and the Town of Harrison, which provide a variety of both public and private rec- reational opportunities. The Village’s location on the Connecticut state border affords Rye Brook residents access to a significant num- ber of out-of-state parks, historic sites and nature preserves. A. Recreational Resources Public parks provide a large portion of the outdoor recreational re- sources within the Village of Rye Brook; however, other opportuni- ties for outdoor recreation include: Country clubs Walking paths Trailway routes Community centers Schools B.
