Veterans Memorial Park in Carmel reopens for the season

The Putnam County Veterans Memorial Park in Carmel will open for the season on Memorial Day Weekend.  County Executive MaryEllen Odell says the 200-plus acre park is open for hiking, fishing, and picnicking.  Swimming is also allowed at the only public county-owned lake in Putnam.  Last year, in response to the pandemic, the park opened late in the season, limited capacity and had strict rules on group activities.

Starting Saturday, the park will be open from 10am to 7pm every day through Labor Day.  The beach opens at 10:30am and the rules have been eased. 

The Park has several tributes to those who have served in the armed services including an M-60 Tank, a Cobra-318 Helicopter and several memorials.  On Sunday, the New York Riders motorcycle group will dedicate a new memorial to fallen veterans, the Battlefield Cross. The ceremony begins at 6pm at the park.

Parking is $8 a day, or $40 for a season’s pass for county residents and $85 for a season’s pass for non-county residents. There are discounts for seniors. Parking is free for veterans.
