  • Bird Sanctuary and Armacost Park

    For Avalon property owners with concerns about the restoration project at Armacost Park (71st to 74th Street between Dune and Ocean Drives), I suggest a walk around the perimeter, and along the designated paths at the Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary  (111th to 116th Street between Second and Third Avenues).

    The Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary remains an environmentally sound, and historic site.   I believe the Borough of Avalon has a similar vision for Armacost Park.

    Defined as lights on inside Hoy’s 5 & 10 and the Avalon SuperMarket as they prep for opening day.

    Waiting for the return of the flags over Hoy’s  (a nice view from my office…and handy as a weather station!)
