The Village of Warwick offers several parks to her residents. Each one is a destination for various recreational activities. The parks are well used by the entire community.
Memorial Park is a 56 acre site located in the center of the Village. It is home to the Warwick Little League and the Mens’ Over 35 Softball League. The baseball and softball fields are beautifully maintained by the volunteers from those organizations. Known as the nicest baseball and softball sports facility in Orange County, the fields have been skinned for clay infields with state of the art drainage systems all paid for with donated funds. Their field grass is maintained by local landscapers who volunteer their service for the leagues. In addition to Little League, the park houses our skatepark. Our skateboarders are talented athletes who practice their skill on a variety of stunts in the park. In 2009, an Eagle Scout project to erect a full half-pipe was successfully completed with the help of local business donations and the handiwork of the Boy Scout Troop #445. The Warwick Summer Arts |Festival will add a finishing touch to the skatepark with a wall painting similar to those that have been painted in Stanley Deming Park. The Arts Festival Skatepark project will incorporate the teaching skills of local arts and the painting talent of their students.
A walking connection to the new public library was added for the convenience of residents who use both facilities. This park is also the location of the Warwick Firemen’s Carnival each summer; the carnival lasts for one week and culminates with a fantastic fireworks display just in time for July 4th.
Memorial Park contains several memorial gardens; the Fireman’s Memorial Garden is a beautiful dedication to volunteer fireman who have contributed to the community over the years; the 911 Memorial is dedicated to the memory of seven Warwick residents who lost their lives during World Trade Center terrorist attack; the Doc Beers Garden is also located near the entrance to the park as well. |
