Herrick Park Phase 1A Renovation
We are so excited to have completed phase 1A of the Herrick Park Renovation project just before the 2023 summer season began. It has been six months since the completion of the Herrick Park renovations. Since then, we have seen a massive increase in foot traffic in the park due to the brand new ADA-compliant paths surrounding the park and the creation of new sidewalks connecting Reutershan and the Long-Term Parking Lot, making it easier than ever for patrons to access the park!
We built a new tennis area with three tennis courts complete with sports lighting, with many patrons taking advantage of early morning or late night matches. We have also completely renovated the softball fields with state-of-the-art dugouts, just in time for the famous Artists vs. Writers game every August. While fantastic additions added to summer foot traffic in the park, John M. Marshall Elementary School and East Hampton Middle School have taken full advantage of the improved conditions of the park.
At a ceremonial groundbreaking for the Herrick Park renovations on March 17, 2023, Chairman and CEO Bradford Billet of the East Hampton Village Foundation presented the Village of East Hampton with a check for over 1 million dollars for the renovation of Herrick Park.
Sewer System
A central sewer system in the downtown will protect our water quality (Hook Pond) and public health. This major construction project of underground pipes and pumping stations, convey sewage from homes and businesses to wastewater treatment plants where it is cleaned and returned to the environment. In order to have more restaurants in our village, we must complete this project.
