Welcome! A message from Town Supervisor Don Clavin
The summer sun will be sizzling, and residents across America’s largest township have a plethora of recreational activities to enjoy. There is no better place to have your very own “staycation” than our extensive network of parks, beaches, golf courses, museums, and preserves. Indeed, the many natural spaces found across our township play host to a wide variety of exciting events organized by the town’s Parks Department, such as athletic programs, fitness classes, art workshops,swimming lessons, and more! In addition, Hempstead Town will once again host its free Neighborhood Concert Series, providing neighbors the opportunity to enjoy all styles of music at a park near their home, including a headline performance by Revisiting Creedence, performing at the township’s annual Salute to Veterans and Fireworks Show on Saturday, June 25th at Town Park Point Lookout. I am committed to ensuring that residents have as much opportunity as possible to enjoy the bountiful recreational offerings found right here in our community.
