(BALDWIN, N.Y.) - To celebrate the start of summer, Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé (D – Freeport) recently partnered with the Baldwin Civic Association and Ridgewood Savings Bank to present “Music in the Park” at Silver Lake Park. Attendees enjoyed performances by musicians Stuart Markus and Gerry McKeveny at the recently renovated park.
Legislator Mulé shepherded a more than $2.6-million overhaul of Silver Lake Park to its recent completion; the project encompassed elevating the Park’s perimeter walkway, installing tide gates on Silver Lake’s outfalls, installing a stormwater treatment device between Lofts Pond and the natural channel of Parsonage Creek, and providing a fish passage to Caroline's Pond. The lion’s share of funding for these improvements were provided by New York State through Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery (GOSR) grants.
“Summertime is the perfect time to enjoy live performances in the park and gather with our neighbors to share our love of music,” Legislator Mulé said. “Thank you to the Baldwin Civic Association and Ridgewood Savings Bank for helping to make this event such a success. We look forward to having more concerts and community gatherings in Baldwin’s beautiful and newly renovated Silver Lake Park!”
