Details

Event Type Walk/Hike Description Explore Ossining’s waterfront and learn more of its unique history. Ramblers start at the Ossining Community Center, viewing permanent exhibits on the Old Croton Aqueduct and Sing Sing Prison. Next, stroll along the spectacular new Sing Sing Kill Greenway, a picturesque walkway that runs through the ravine, passing over the kill brook and under the double-arch aqueduct bridge, an architectural marvel. The Greenway emerges at Central Avenue, where you proceed down to the waterfront for a presentation on Sing Sing Prison and its impact on the waterfront and village. At the new Henry Gourdine Waterfront Park, you can read eight new historic interpretive panels that tell the story of the Ossining riverfront from the Sint Sinck tribe through today. Ramblers are welcome to walk along the Hudson to Louis Engel Park, where an old guard tower and Sing Sing Prison Museum’s planned home--the old Power House--are in plain sight.
