Depew Park

I want to t3sch my son tennis at the city. I live and pay my tables and have my company, where I played tennis with friends when I was more young...Unfortunately, they are renovated, destroying, fixing the area where the tennis courts are, it being many months with this project, bot sure what is going on.nLast weekends we were lucky yo found an open gate door to get to the concrete court, what u think was the best; I teach my son how to play for many hours and we decide to come back in 2 weeks, when we went back, the one we went before was lock amd we found the artificial grass was open. Of course, the field was. It's as good as the concrete, but we played any way.nI wish it is a sign in the 2 ways to get in, explain it what the city of Peekskill have in mind about leaving 2 of the concrete courts close by fence and no explain when we will have them back.nHope we can go next weekend with my son to keep teaching him and don't find cage door locks

Overall it was a nice first visit to the park. Beautiful, nice area with picnic tables, and seemingly many tails. However, I really wish there was a better trail map online or that the trails were marked better. We were worried about getting lost so sort of skirted the parking lot.

There are multiple entrances to this park, but a nice short walk, and you'll find everything. The playground is great for toddlers and kids up to about 12 years old. There's swings for infants, toddlers and older kids. There is a sand pit with digger type things, like a construction workers digger. There are bathrooms. There's a basketball court, and tennis court. There's parking a few feet away, and around certain areas. There's also a track, and a river where people fish. There's seating areas. I love it. LOTS of forest area. Always go with my kids to the water and we look for frogs, turtles, tadpoles, fish. It's always quiet too, even when there's kids at the playground.

This is a well designed, lovely park adjacent to the Peekskill High School athletic complex. There are intersecting hiking or strolling trails. We are mobility challenged, but found it easy to walk on the wide trail around the lake. There are a couple of slight grades, but these were short and could be negotiated in a wheelchair, though wide wheels are recommended. Some spots have rocks or tree roots sticking out, but there are usually smooth detours around the rough spots. Smooth-topped boulders or wooden benches are along the trails should you need a rest or just want to enjoy the view. For the more energetic, there are steeper trails winding through the woods. The park is well lit, and there are tennis and basketball courts. Fishing is permitted in the lake. I've walked the dog at midnight. It was lit, there were other dog walkers, there were guys playing basketball under the lights, and a leisurely cop car rolled through. It's a local gem.

This is really an outstanding park that has been well thought out . It offers many experiences oasis' that caters to a wide ranging public interest. It is certainly one of the absolute best parks in Westchester County.
