About Congers Lake Memorial Park
Congers Lake Memorial Park is a Town of Clarkstown park at 8 Gilchrest Road in Congers. The lake, trailway and recreation facilities make it a place for a walk, a run or time outdoors with family. Clarkstown lists a playground, picnic area, ballfields, basketball and tennis courts, a community center, pool facilities and fishing at the park. The lake gives the walk its setting, while the play and sports areas offer reasons to stay beyond a lap. The park is for Clarkstown residents and their accompanied guests under town rules. Ordinary pets are not allowed throughout the park; dogs may use only the designated dog park, and service animals are excepted. Fishing is permitted subject to prevailing rules. Designated picnic areas are available, but reserved picnic space and the shelter require permits and fees. Pool admission and operating hours are separate from general park access. Families can pair the playground with a short lakeside walk, and runners can use the open trailway sections. Clarkstown says the boardwalk between markers 47 and 54 remains closed indefinitely, so follow posted detours and do not plan a full loop. Park hours and facility access can differ by season.
