A Bit of History
"In 1996, the County received 455,000 for an Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) Grant to obtain 9.5 acres of land owned by the Nyack School District as well as 2.96 acres of the land was privately owned by Mary B. Blake of Orangetown. The property was purchased to protect a segment of the Long Path Hiking Trail that stretches 346 miles from the George Washington Bridge to the Adirondacks. On July 9, 2003 the County dedicated the Park to the memory of Sean Hunter Ryan. Sean Hunter Ryan, a Rockland resident, had a true love of nature and the outdoors, which led him to work as a Park Ranger. In 1995, Ranger Ryan tragically fell to his death during a very dangerous rescue attempt on Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State."
