 Dear Residents, Visitors, and Members of the Community,

 Please be advised that Eddie Collins Memorial Park will be temporarily closed to the public beginning August 31, 2026, through approximately July 31, 2027, due to planned construction and renovation work.

 Reason for Closure

The closure is necessary to allow for the installation of a new Olympic swimming pool and pool house. These improvements are intended to enhance the park’s safety, accessibility, and long-term functionality for residents and visitors.

 Closure Period

  • Start Date: August 31, 2026
  • Anticipated End Date: July 31, 2027
  • Anticipated Reopening Date: July 31, 2027

During this closure period, the park and its facilities will not be available for public use. For safety reasons, no entry into the park or construction areas will be permitted.

 Impact on the Public

  • All recreational areas, walking paths, and park facilities will be closed.
  • Construction activities may result in noise, equipment movement, and temporary traffic changes in the surrounding area.
  • Signage will be posted at park entrances, and updates will be shared through the Village website and Facebook page as information becomes available.

 Reopening and Updates

 The Village anticipates reopening Eddie Collins Memorial Park on or about July 31, 2027, with improved facilities and enhanced visitor experience. Project updates and reopening information will be shared on the Village website at www.villageofmillerton-ny.gov and on the Village Facebook page.

We appreciate the community’s patience, cooperation, and understanding while this important improvement project is completed. Your support will help ensure a safer and more enjoyable park for everyone.
