Glen Island Park
- Coastal county park
- Regional draw
- New Rochelle
Glen Island Park occupies a waterfront landscape on Long Island Sound in New Rochelle.
Paths, open spaces and remnants of the island’s earlier recreation history give a park visit both coastal views and architectural interest.
Check current county entrance, parking and residency requirements before traveling, especially for the seasonal beach. The photograph shows the castle-like stone structures, one historic component of the park. Swimming and boat access have separate operating rules, and the neighboring event venue is independently managed. Follow current signs for public areas and do not assume the whole island is unrestricted parkland.
