YONKERS, NY – May 2, 2022 -- Mayor Mike Spano and the Yonkers Department of Parks, Recreation & Conservation today reopened Henning Park, located at Shelley Avenue between Rockne and Mile Square Roads, after decades of lying dormant and transformed it from an unused space to one which is inviting and more accessible for residents.
“Yonkers is home to 80 parks that range in amenities, landscape and city neighborhoods,” said Mayor Mike Spano. “Upgrades to Henning Park breathes new life into this quite oasis nestled in our city and provides greater access to more of our area’s extensive parks system. Thank you to our Parks Department for continually investing in new and innovative ways to improve our quality of life.”
The 7.6-acre wooded park now features a curated nature trail, walking paths and a connection to the Westchester South County Trail.
