Dutch Garden, 3-acres in size, is located at 37 South Main Street, New City, NY 10956 in Rockland County.The garden consists of a brick teahouse with a fireplace, a gazebo, an arbor and a bandstand. "Originally a brick wall (part of which remains) enclosed the gardens. A variety of flowers and tulips can be found along the brick lined paths. The western side has a slope, which at one time was covered with daffodils."

History of Dutch Garden
"Constructed 1934-36 under the supervision of Mary Mobray Clarke, landscape consultant, the park stands as a memorial to the early Dutch settlers and is a reminder of the importance that brick making had on the County's economy. In 1935 the designs and descriptions of the park won national recognition. A bronze achievement plaque on the wall of the teahouse remains as a commemorative to the designers. In 1965 it won first prize in the Annual Civic Beautification Contests sponsored by Sears Roebuck and Co. and in 1968 it won a prize in the National Award Showcase of Beauty Contests sponsored by the Readers Digest Foundation."
