Board of Trustees Meets Tonight to Discuss Scudder Park Upgrades

Sea Cliff, NY · June 4, 2026

The morning mist is lifting off the Sound just in time for the village to wake up. If you’re heading toward the beach today, keep an eye out for the new signage being installed near the pavilion.

📰 The Lead

Tonight’s Village Board of Trustees meeting at Village Hall centers on a proposed revitalization plan for Scudder Park. The agenda includes a presentation on upgrading the playground equipment and improving the drainage near the basketball courts, which has been a recurring headache after heavy spring rains. Residents have been vocal about preserving the park's low-key character while ensuring the facilities are safe for the summer rush. If the proposal moves forward, the village aims to schedule the heavy lifting for late autumn to avoid disrupting the peak beach season. It is a prime opportunity for neighbors to weigh in on how public funds shape one of our most-used waterfront spaces before the final designs are locked in.
