Virtual Waysides — Hudson Crossing Park

A map poster of Hudson Crossing Park showing trails and images of park events like Winterfest ice harvesting on the canal, an owl perched on a park welcome sign, 6 sailors in a cardboard boat one race day and a view from Starks Knob of the river.

Working in partnership with the Lakes to Locks Passage and local artist Don Cook, the park has a collection of waysides that tell the stories of the park, key regional events, and people that have had significant historical and/or commercial impacts on our region. This “Virtual Tour” project goal is to produce and make available audio files of the stories that were collected and shared with these waysides.

Through financial assistance from the Hudson River Improvement Fund of the Hudson River Foundation, the Common Roots Foundation, and the Greenwich Lion’s Club, this project allows people of all abilities to enjoy and learn just some of what makes Hudson Crossing Park so special.
