Parks Spring/Summer Registration Cover (jpg)

Don't snooze . . . It's Almost Time

Phil, that furry rodent from Pennsylvania, predicted an early spring this year. Yeah, it's kinda hard to envision it with snow still on the ground, but he was right: Spring/Summer Program Registration starts Friday, March 01, 2019! So, don't delay registering for pool and tennis permits, camps (day, soccer, sport, travel), and other program opportunities offered by the Recreation Department. Brochures should be hitting mailboxes around February 25 and an electronic copy of the brochure will be available online one we've finished the final touches.

Civilian Response to Active Shooters

Have you ever thought about how to respond if you should find yourself in a crisis situation involving an Active Shooter? What you do matters, and Avoid, Deny, Defend could be a pathway to survival. In partnership with the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center, the Westchester County Police Department is offering a free Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events training course on March 6, 2019, from 10AM to 12PM at the Westchester County Center, 198 Central Avenue, White Plains, NY. No pre-registration is required.

Death by a Thousand Cuts

Did you know that improper tree pruning can create lasting damage or even shorten a tree's life? Both technique and timing are important. Don't let just anyone hack at your trees, shrubs, and bushes -- hire a professional! Finding a local, ISA-certified Arborist is easy, and we're presently amidst the best time of year for pruning to be done. Always secure more than one bid, check references, and be leery of door-to-door solicitations. At Scarsdale Official, we appreciate all that you do to maintain our Village in a Park identity.
