100 Years in the Park District
The Great Neck Park District is the oldest
park system in Nassau County and one of
the only park districts in New York State.
It was formed on Monday, August 14, 1916,
by Roswell Eldridge. It’s founding mission
was to obtain and preserve open space.
His wife Louise Eldridge was an early
commissioner of the Park District. When
Roswell passed away in 1928 at age 70,
Louise had a bandstand erected in his
memory which still stands today in the
Village Green.
