East Rockaway
East Rockaway is a one-square-mile village made up of residential homes, apartments, condos and waterfront cottages. Its main business and shopping districts are on Main Street and Atlantic Avenue. The area is known for its ecletic styles of upscale houses, old-fashioned capes and newly-raised homes that are still being mitigagted against future storms after they were damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Originally named Near Rockaway, the village began as a shipping and trading center for the south shore of Long Island. The location was desirable for ships because of its deep inland channels. The community prospered in shipping and milling over the years, even after several sales of the land. The village’s name was changed in 1869 to East Rockaway, and was incorporated in 1900, with Floyd Johnson as its president. At the time of incorporation the town had a population of 969. According to the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, the population of East Rockaway is estimated to be 9,854. The Incorporated Village of East Rockaway is in the Town of Hempstead, and is adjacent to Lynbrook, Hewlett and Oceanside. The primary ethnicities are Italian and Irish. The Waverly Park neighborhood, near the Hewlett-East Rockaway Jewish Center and along the border with Hewlett, has a sizable Jewish community. The Village is governed by a five-member elected board, including a mayor and four trustees. The area is protected by the 4th Precinct of the Nassau County Police Department, and the East Rockaway Auxiliary Police. Fire and ambulance services are provided by the all-volunteer East Rockaway Fire Department. Village businesses and individuals can join the East Rockaway Chamber of Commerce. Local houses of worship include St. Raymond’s Catholic Church, Bethany Congregational Church, The Nazarene Church

and the Hewlett-East Rockaway Jewish Centre. Many residents enjoy the Town of Hempstead’s Hewlett Point Beach, located in Bay Park, and the John Street Complex. The complex includes facilities for baseball, basketball and flag football for young people. The East Rockaway Recreation Department also runs many sports and recreational programs for children and adults. Every summer, the Village and the Chamber co-host an open-air, classic car show near Main Street. In winter, a holiday festival, tree light-
ing and Hanukkah services are held on the grounds of Village Hall. The East Rockaway Public Library offers book and video lending and rentals, children’s programs and activities. Noteable people from East Rockaway include Gary Giddins, screenplay writer for Bing Crosby’s A Pocketful of Dreams; Reid Gorecki, Major League Baseball player; and actors Brian Keith (Family Affair) and Don Murray, who co-starred with Marilyn Monroe in “Bus Stop.”

Bay Park, while sharing the same zip code as East Rockaway, is governed directly by the Town of Hempstead. The Bay Park area sustained extensive damage to many of its homes when Hurricane Sandy hit the community on October 29, 2012. Nassau County’s Bay Park Sewage Plant discharges approximately 50 million gallons of treated sewage a day into Reynolds Channel — although there is talk of installing an outfall pipe to carry the treated sewage out into the ocean. Bay Park is also home to a 96-acre park that shares the same name, and has been in the Nassau County park system since 1947. Located in the southwest corner of the county, the park offers a wealth of athletic fields and courts, bicycle paths and an outdoor roller rink. Newly-designed since Hurricane Sandy, the park now boasts a new large playground, picnic area, a spray pool, and lots of room for running. There is also a 9-hole par-30 golf course that is open from March to December. Overlooking Hewlett Bay, a fishing dock is open yearround, along with a launch ramp for your boat, jet ski or sailboat. The
park also offers a dog run with separate areas for big and small dogs. The run is located on the east side of the park by the athletic fields. Hewlett Point Park offers a relaxing beach and picnic area overlooking Hewlett Bay. The park is located at 130 Hewlett Point Ave. in Bay Park, and is open only to Town of Hempstead residents. Whether it’s outdoor summer concerts on the beach or swimming in the pool, there’s always something to do on the bay. Pool hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. from June 20 through Sept. 7. Call (516) 599-4064 for more information. The community also has its own civic group, the Bay Park Civic Association, which meets regularly to discuss local issues and support its neighbors with their issues. Check out their Facebook group “Bay Park Civic Association.”

living in Lynbrook Lynbrook proclaims itself as “A great place to live, work and play” and as “The Village that leads the way!” The community certainly lives up to its claims. A charming community on the South Shore of Long Island, Lynbrook has a rich history dating back to the late 1700s when a small community of 40 houses was established near Merrick Road and Ocean Avenue, close to where the Rockville, (then Sand Hole) cemetery is today. Around 1830, Wright Pearsall purchased some land at Hempstead Avenue and Merrick Road, at the intersection we today call The Five Corners. He opened a general country store that became so widely known that the corners and the surrounding community soon became known as Pearsall’s Corners. Eventually, it was renamed Lynbrook because the people vacationing from overcrowded Brooklyn and New York City liked what they saw in Pearsall’s and decided to stay. The village was incorporated in 1911. Lynbrook has a population of 19,427, according to the 2010 census. The Village of Lynbrook is within the Town of Hempstead, and Lynbrook’s mayor is William Hendrick. Long Island Rail Road service to New York is available at the Lynbrook train station located off Sunrise Highway between Peninsula Boulevard and Broadway.

Residents keep cool at Hewlett Point Beach in Bay Park.
Lynbrook and East Rockaway have plenty to keep you busy all year long. Its acres of parkland, bike trails, picnic and recreation areas provide something for everyone. Greis Park boasts a lush trail for runners and bikers called the Hudson Exercise Trail. The trail was built in 2010 on vacant land that was deeded to the Village of Lynbrook in 1989 by Nassau County, which had just obtained the land from the City of New York as part of the city’s effort to dispose of many unused parcels that it owned in the county. Prior to the 2010 improvements, the dirt paths of the heavily wooded area were used for decades for walking and bicycling. The improvements, spearheaded by then Mayor (now Assemblyman) Brian Curran, included new landscaping, attractive lighting, seven exercise stations, benches and an asphalt path that follows the original halfmile dirt path loop, while still maintaining the natural flora of the area.
The East Rockaway Grist Mill, located in Memorial Park on Woods Avenue, is a 325-year-old mill that was burned by an arsonist in 1990 and has been completely restored. Displays include an

and is wheelchair accessible. Be sure to check out the mill’s annual Huckleberry Frolic on June 10 to kick of the summer with entertainment, food and more. Bay Park is a beautiful 96acre park that offers a wealth of athletic fields and courts, bicycle paths and an outdoor roller rink. New since Hurricane Sandy, the park now boasts a large playground, picnic area, a spray pool and lots of room for running. There is also a 9-hole par-30 golf course open from March to December. Overlooking Hewlett Bay, a fishing dock is open year-round, along with a launch ramp for your boat, Jet ski or sailboat. The park also offers a dog run with separate areas for big and small dogs. The run is located on the east side of the park by the athletic fields. Don’t forget to check out your local recreation centers in Lynbrook and East Rockaway to see what fun activities they have planned year-round. Popular programs include outdoor movies, free concerts, arts and crafts and so much more!

Made in America with pride
ald Eagle is a Made In America gift shop. Owner Jo Ann Cuchel’s mission is to make it easy for Americans to shop American Made! “Almost two years before Donald Trump made the statement “Make American great again” I looked up American made retailers and found there weren’t many,” says Jo Ann. “That got me thinking, then researching and Bald Eagle was born. I wanted a boutique style store that made people comfortable to shop, had an assortment of unique goods and
most importantly was American made.” The shop represents 30 local artisans and 9 local artists who contribute a variety of items to Bald Eagle. In addition, all other vendors are vetted to ensure at least 95 percent Made In America compliance. Jo Ann thanks her customers for their patronage and encourages all who haven’t stopped in yet to visit and check out her eclectic assortment of merchandise. Weds: Sat 10am-5pm. Sun: 10am-3pm.
