This is the site of the seasonal festivals put on by the Beacon Sloop Club, starting with Strawberry Festival, and going through the year to Corn.Festival and Pumpkin Fest. Pete and Toshi were always there. His Sloop, the Clearwater docks just down the road when it is in Beacon. The other boat is the Woody, or the Woody Guthrie named after Petes friend. It is a Ferry Sloop. Beacon Sloop Club had her totally restored a few years ago. They work hard on keeping Petes dream of bringing people down to the River alive. If you know the River, you want to protect it like Pete did. They offer free sails week nights on the Woody as part of that tradition and will do so again when the pandemic subsides.

Strawberry Fest at Pete and Toshi Seeger Park was just perfect. The park is on a spit of land surrounded by the Hudson River on both sides. Lovely piece of property and a nice playground for the kids.Today the Beacon Sloop Club hosted Strawberry Fest - the best ever strawberry shortcake and strawberry smoothies. Shortcake baked on the premises, strawberries hulled and sliced by volunteers the night before. What a lot of work for an all volunteer group!There were activists tabling for a pleathera of causes, vendors selling all sorts of stuff and two stages of music. And dogs of all breeds and mixtures. No charge for admittance, free sails on the Woody Guthrie, the Sloop Clearwater was there.Pete would be proud of the way his Sloop Club carries on his vision of bringing people to the River even without him. Corn Fest in August is next.

Great park right on the Hudson River. Im not from the area, but did some fishing from the bank when I was in town and there were many families with young kids enjoying themselves. Lots of space to fish.

Pete & Toshi Seeger helped our community in many, many ways. This park was made by cleaning up the site, and the top soil. Beacon’s industrial history, plus the Hudson River contamination, required a huge effort to clean. Thank you Pete and Toshi!

Really wonderful park for the kids. Two areas so smaller and bigger kids can play together or separate. Water is right there so keep your eyes out, but it’s a nice way to mix nature with play.

Beautiful views of the Hudson and the bridge, fun playground and swing set, and the spot for Sloop Club festivals. We have had birthday parties there and its just a perfect vibe. Not usually crowded. A gem of Beacon.

A beautiful spot on the Hudson river.The River Pool has been enjoyed by over 1,000 people a summer for the past 9 summers. The river water is tested every week and is very clean.The pool has never been closed because of the water quality.

This place is awesome! There is an overall nature vibe mixed in with an urban industrial era feel when looking at the Newburgh beacon bridge. Would defiantly go back here on purpose.
