New Square is located in Rockland County

The incomparable beauty and quaint charms of Rockland County offer peaceful, pastoral countryside spiced by river villages, historic sites and, arguably, the world's most beautiful river valley. It's unmatched as a getaway spot for a day, a week, or more. There are magnificent Hudson River views that once inspired a whole school of American painters. 32,000 acres of unspoiled parklands. Rolling mountains, sparkling lakes for swimming, fishing and boating. Unique historic sites that made important contributions to America's earliest history. Intriguing museums, landmarks, music and theatre await you.

But don't be fooled by this seemingly rural charm. Because of the county's proximity to New York City (16 miles), and residents that are no less than icons in the theatre, arts and business, there is a sophistication found only in big cities. With Palisades Center Mall and close-by Woodbury Commons, boutiques, shops and galleries, you will find endless shopping opportunities. And restaurants—we rival Manhattan's best. We have some great things hidden in the little corners of our world.

So close to the bustling city, Rockland is everybody's playground. There are no less than 32,000 acres of untouched parklands dotted with sparkling lakes and streams rushing down to the Hudson. Mile after mile of marked trails lead you right to the foothills of the Ramapo Mountains.

There are all kinds of recreational opportunities: swimming and fishing, hiking and boating, camping, horseback riding, historic house tours, golf and tennis in Spring and Summer. Ice skating, sledding, and cross-country skiing in Winter. And a magnificent foliage display rivaling the best of New England every Fall.

Even though its orchards are only minutes from the Big Apple, people say Rockland is a world apart. Enjoy a crisp Autumn day at one of the county's historic farms picking your own apples, pears, berries or pumpkins. Or visit one of Rockland's fine farm markets and enjoy the abundance of freshly harvested local produce. Fall foliage hikes, drives and bike tours are available.

The Department of Parks and Recreation in Ramapa offers a year-round program of activities and special events for residents of all ages. These include summer day camps, programs throughout the school year, concerts, special events, such as fishing derby, go fly a kite day, family day, a 5K run, and an annual fireworks display.

The park system currently includes approximately 525 acres of land, most of which are developed. There are 14 parks with facilites that include two outdoor swimming pools, an 18 hole "award-winning" golf course, 2 recreation buildings, 18 tennis courts, eight handball courts, picnic groves, basketball courts, ball fields, playgrounds, bocci courts, jogging and bicycle paths, ponds for fishing and ice skating, an amphitheater, an exercise trail, a gazabo for concerts and nature areas.

The Herb Reisman Sports Complex recently opened, has added baseball, softball, soccer and football fields at Eugene Levy park.
