Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, Esq.
GREENBURGH, NY — January 17, 2021 — In 2019 Greenburgh became the first community in Westchester to offer residents the opportunity to enjoy cricket –one of the most popular sports in the world. We created a field at Richard Presser Park in Hartsdale. It’s been enormously popular. The problem: The demand is so great that we can’t serve everyone who wants to use the field.
Statement From Westchester County Legislator Mary Jane Shimsky
Westchester County Board legislator MaryJane Shimsky represents the 12th L.D., comprised of the communities of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Edgemont, Hartsdale, Hastings-on-Hudson, and Irvington.
One of local government’s most important roles is insuring that all of our residents have the recreational opportunities they need – recreation that allows our people to live healthy and happy lives, and to learn skills, such as teamwork and grit, that are important to success off the playing field as well. With interest in cricket growing throughout Westchester, I’m very pleased that the County included $1 million in its 2021 capital budget for a new field. I’d like to thank County Executive Latimer for all of the interest he has shown in making this project become a reality, and all of my colleagues on the Board of Legislators for their support. Thank you to Supervisor Feiner as well, for showing with the field at Richard Presser Park that, if you build it, cricket teams will come and play on it. Most of all, thank you to the citizen advocates who alerted officials on all levels of government to the need for cricket facilities in our community.
