Beekman Park

by Jesse Russell (Editor)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Beekman Park is a small local park in the census-designated place of Amenia, part of Dutchess County, New York. It is located on U.S. Route 44 and is visible off New York State Route 22 and New York State Route 343 across from a nearby restaurant. In 1974, the land upon which the park is located was sold to the Town of Amenia by Walter Beekman for the sum of $1. The park was officially opened in 1983. Before the park existed, it was the site of Lake Amenia, formed in the 1920s by a freshwater dam over a sawmill pond at the intersection of Lake Amenia Road and West Lake Amenia Road. The dam's original use was to power a nearby saw mill where, with the new lake in place, the town got a large benefit, with people now having the opportunity to swim and to enhance the comforting character of the town. During the 1920s, the lake became surrounded by lake cottages, pavilions, docks, and some railings. Consequently, the town tried to latch-on to this idea by publishing brochures advertising the residences.
