About Rockefeller State Park Preserve
Rockefeller State Park Preserve is a state park in Mount Pleasant, New York, in the eastern foothills of the Hudson River in Westchester County. Common activities in the park include horse-riding, walking, jogging, running, bird-watching, and fishing. This wooded area near the present-day village of Sleepy Hollow has a rich history; the land was donated to the state of New York over time by the Rockefeller family beginning in 1983. A separate section of the park, called the Rockwood Hall section, fronts the Hudson River. Formerly the property of William Rockefeller, it has been in use as a New York state park since the early 1970s.
