Lynbrook and East Rockaway are thriving. Lynbrook continues to focus on downtown revitalization. We await the opening of the new, state-of-the-art movie theater being built on Merrick Road, currently scheduled to be completed in time for the holiday season. Nearly five years after Hurricane Sandy, East Rockaway has shown its resiliency through the recovery and improvements to its waterfront, downtown, schools and residential areas. We hope you enjoy this year’s Guide. We’ve tried to make it the best Guide to Lynbrook and East Rockaway ever published.

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, oldfashioned capes and newly raised homes that are still being reinforced 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 Long Island’s South Shore. The location was ideal 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 village had a population of 969. According to a 2016 census estimate by the U.S. Census Bureau, East Rockaway has a population of about 9,802. The Village of East Rockaway is in the Town of Hempstead, and is adjacent to Lynbrook, Hewlett and Oceanside. 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, which

includes facilities for baseball, basketball and flag football. 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. Each June, the East Rockaway Grist Mill Museum hosts its annual Huckleberry Frolic, an afternoon filled with games, food, live performances, street vendors and more to raise money for the museum. It is one of the most popular summer events in East
Rockaway. In winter, a holiday festival, including a tree and Menorah lighting, 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. Notable people from East Rockaway include Gary Giddins, screenplay writer for Bing Crosby’s “A Pocketful of Dreams”; Reid Gorecki, a former Major League Baseball player; and actors Brian Keith (“Family Affair”) and Don Murray, who co-starred with Marilyn Monroe in “Bus Stop.”

A new playground was built at the headquarters of the Bay Park Civic Association in honor of Noah Pozner, who was a victim in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in 2012.
While sharing the same zip code as East Rockaway, Bay Park is governed by the Town of Hempstead. Bay Park sustained extensive damage to many of its homes when Hurricane Sandy hit the community on Oct. 29, 2012. The Bay Park Water Reclamation Facility, which was also damaged in Sandy, discharges 50 million gallons of treated sewage a day into Reynolds Channel — although a plan to use a 110-year-old aqueduct beneath Sunrise Highway to transport the sewage into the ocean is in the development stage. 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, spray pool, and lots of room for running. There is also a nine-hole, par-30 golf course that is open from March to December. Overlooking Hewlett Bay, a fishing dock is open year-
round, along with a launch ramp for boats or jet-skis. 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. Hewlett Point Park offers a relaxing beach and picnic area overlooking Hewlett Bay. The park is 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 is plenty to do on the bay. Pool hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. from June 17 through Sept. 4. 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 problems. Check out their Facebook group “Bay Park Civic Association.”
Bay Park is among the smallest Census-designated communities in Nassau County, with only 903 homes.

Every May on Memorial Day, Lynbrook Fire Department volunteers lay a wreath to remember the fallen.
living in Lynbrook Lynbrook proclaims itself “a great place to live, work and play” and “the Village that leads the way!” The community certainly lives up to its claims. A charming village on Long Island’s South Shore, 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 Cemetery is today. Around 1830, Wright Pearsall purchased 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 Pearsall’s Corners. Eventually, it was renamed Lynbrook because people vacationing from Brooklyn and New York City liked what they saw in Pearsall’s and decided to stay. The village was incorporated in 1911. According to a 2016 census estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau, Lynbrook has a population of about 19,567. 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, off of Sunrise Highway.

East Rockaway boasts plenty of places to relax on the waterfront.
Lynbrook and East Rockaway have plenty to keep you busy all year long. Their acres of parkland, bike trails, picnic and recreation areas provide something for everyone. Greis Park in Lynbrook 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 obtained it 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. Before the 2010 improvements, the dirt paths of the heavily wooded area were used for decades for walking and bicycling. The improvements, spearheaded by thenmayor and 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 was restored. Displays include an old fire-pump engine,
period costumes, Indian and bay exhibits and store settings from the 19th to early 20th centuries. The museum is open on weekends from 1 to 5 p.m. in the summer, and is wheelchair
The Lynbrook pool is a popular place to keep cool in the summer.
