Kensico Dam Plaza
The Kensico Dam plaza is a plaza located at the foot of the dam. Historically, Westchester County's Department of Parks has hosted several community-wide events at the plaza, including outdoor screenings throughout the summer and early autumn, and a Fourth of July celebration with fireworks, food trucks, and live music. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, it also began sponsoring "Winter Wonderland," a winter holiday-themed drive-through light experience. The plaza also provides recreational activities, including a playground, a large lawn, gravel paths for walking and biking, and a hiking trail running from the plaza level to the top of the dam. Placards posted throughout the plaza encompass its history.
