The material contained in this initial status report has been prepared with the assistance of the town officials, engineering staff and recreation staff for the purpose of identifying the requirements essential to obtaining the most suitable and desirable education and recreation area for the community. The final Complex Plan and Program for this area has been prepared by the consulting team after the completion of the following procedural steps: 1 . Review of previous reports, proposals, and other community data. 2. Workshops with the Study Committee. 3. Meetings with the Town and Village commissions and officials. 4. Discussions of concepts with neighborhood associations. 5. Analysis of the properties. 6. Review of community requirements. PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Educotion and Recreation Consultants I PAGE i I INTRODUCTION Unlike the majority of landlocked Westchester communities, the discovery and subsequent history of the Town of Mamaroneck has been closely linked to geography. The territory of 4 Mamaroneck has been centered around and focused on its waterfront conditions and traditions. From the days of the tribal family of the Wickquaskeck Indians to the present Mamaroneck citizens, Mamaroneck has grown into a relatively modern community which has a mixture of traditional charm and technical neglect. Though it is substantially residential, it is interwoven with com- mercial and indystrial growth. The Town and its two villages are primary made up of middle income families. There are, however, some groups of higher and lower income levels. The ethnic compo- sition is representative of most American majority and minority groups. About 17-1/2 acres of public lands in the Hommocks area were originally acquired by the Town of Mamaroneck in 1947 through tax-lien foreclosures. Early studies of the possible uses of the lands, made in 1948-49, revealed that extensive improvements would be required to render the area usable for any purpose other than natural wetlands and forest, and that the costs of improve- ment by conventional techniques were greatly in excess of the potential value of the property fox public use. The most significant feature of the land then was its low elevation; about two-thirds of the property was marshy and covered with water at extreme high tide. Without a.substantial amount of fill, the land could not have been used for any active recreation purpose. A parcel of property roughly 5-1/2 acres, lying along Hommocks Rood at the south end of the complex area, was sold at public auction in 1953. This area, now known as the Burger Tract, was re-acquired by the Town in 1964 as a gift from the Agrion Foundation, Inc., together with a parcel o- of about two acres of land not previously in public ownership. The deed to the Town contains a provision restricting the land use to "public park and recreational purposes for the benefit of all residents of the Town". The deed also contains a reverter clause which will allow the Agrion . Foundation to revest the property in itself if the Town should fail to observe this restriction. The remaining tract of about 12 acres to the north was formally dedicated for recreational use r by the Town Board in 1957. This tract has been subject to filling operations, at varying rates, since about 1950. In 1958, following the dedication of this part of the area, a new system for filling was inaugurated. Under this system, the north tract became a dumping ground for the resi- dues from the town incinerator and a disposal area for rubbish collected by the Town and burned on the site. By the end of 1964 this operation had covered approximately eight acres of land which had between five and six feel of sanitary land fill. ' There have been several previous attempts made to formulate a program for the development of the Hommocks area. In addition to the studies made in 1948-49, which resulted in plans for a Town Hall as well as numerous recreational facilities, there was a proposal submitted in 1954 for the development of a swimming pool . The estimated costs of development associated with all these previous proposals were so high in relation to the pptential benefits that none of theearlier studies resulted in any definite action by the Town. { PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants I PAGE 1 The present size of the Hommocks area is 19.4 acres; and the area is now owned by the Town of Mamaroneck, bounded on the south and east by Hommocks Road, which forms part of the boun- dary between the Village of Larchmont and the Town of Mamaroneck; and on the north by five privately owned parcels of land facing the Boston Post Road. In addition, there is a small strip of property at the north end of the property which extends directly to Boston Post Road between an existing furniture store and a motel. In the latter part of 1964 the Town Board, Village Board, and School Board of the Town of Mamaroneck established the Hommocks Study Committee as a town-wide citizens committee whose specific purpose was to study and determine how the Hommocks land might be potentially developed and used as a recreation resource for the community. The attention of the Committee was primarily focused upon: (1) the request of the Board of Education for use of a portion of the Hommocks area for a new Middle School, and (2) a recom- mendation that a portion of this area be considered for a new Town Hall. After careful consideration of both proposals, it was determined that an appropriate area should be set aside for a school site provided that additional land was acquired by the School District and that a grant was obtained to fill about three acres of tideland. Along with this proposal, it was" suggested that the recreational facilities of the new Middle School be integrated with facilities of Flint Park and with other areas of the Hommocks Property which are presently undeveloped. In August 1964, the Town Board appointed a town-wide Conservation Advisory Committee to oversee and administer a 54-acre tract of former county land in the northern part of the Town which was to be developed as a joint conservation-education project by the Town and the School District. This Committee saw the potential value of the Burger Tract at Hammocks as another outdoor class- room; and in June of 1965 members of the Conservation Advisory Committee presented to the Hommocks Committee, the Town Board, and the Board of Education recommendations that all or part of the Burger Tract be retained in its natural condition as an outdoor educational center of unique ecological value. The comprehensive Recreation Survey for the Town, prepared in 1961, confirmed the necessity of establishing a cooperative recreation and conservation use area. PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants I PAGE 2 4 li $„ II DESCRIPTION OF TOWN A. Identification of Town's Characteristics The Town of Mamaroneck is situated on the north shore of the Long Island Sound, approximately ; 17 miles from Manhattan. Within the limits of the Town are the Incorporated Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck. The balance of the Town is unincorporated. The terrain rolls gently and rises gradually from sea level to an elevation of 200 feet above mean high water. Included within the limits of the Town are a salt marsh, rocky wooded areas, and level fertile lands. The irregular shore line creates large bays and a number of smaller ones. All of the foregoing are conducive to pleasant suburban living with recreational patterns extensively water oriented. The low lying areas of the Town are separated from the higher areas by the main line of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroads and the New England Thruway. There are two major arteries parallel to the shore; one is the Boston Post Road, and the other is Palmer Avenue. • These roods are connected by four major north-south arteries which provide circulation in the shore area for the Town residents. There are two major commercial areas; one is on Chatsworth Avenue in the Village of Larchmon and the other is on Mamaroneck Road in the Village of Mamaroneck. There is also a commercial f strip along the entire length of the Boston Post Road. The major portion of the Town is developed with one-family houses which vary in size and i quality from one area to the next. Other residential areas consist of isolated garden apartment ti complexes and a few high rise apartments, north of the Larchmont Station. It d The larger open areas of the Town include portions of Saxon Woods, a 181-acre county park, and of the Cross County Parkway right-of-way, two large village parks (Harbor Island and Flint Park), three country clubs, and marshy tidal flats which are presently under consideration for • development. The socio-economic development of the Town has changed the area considerably from its f rural settlement of 50 years ago. The social and economic trends and patterns in the Town can be • judged by the composition of the population, including the ages, nationalities, ethnic and educe- -y tional backgrounds of the residents as well as the distribution of wealth, including their income and occupational status. The volume of the population of an area relates to the degree of involvement of the residents and the feasibility of the available leadership to cope with programs. The larger the population, the greater the need for increased provision, and thus supervision of services. Another factor in dealing with large populations is that of many programs which will be required to serve these num- bers to satisfy the variety of needs and interests. Since 1920 and 1930 when the significant popu- lotion increase occurred and most of the last large parcels of land in the Town were subdivided, t _u N I.... PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants PAGE 3 i7 the population has grown to 29, 107 since the 1960 census and to 31,970 according to the 1965 special census. The Town's Master Plan, prepared in May 1966, reports that the maximum popu- lation increase for the entire Town could be an estimated 6,000 people. This represents an increase of approximately 20 % over the 1960 census figure. B. Interpretation of Town's Requirements The physical and socio-economic character of the Town, as well as the availability and access- ibility of its recreational opportunities to residents, reflects the type and number of activities and facilities required. The population of the entire Town of Mamaroneck, according to recent estimates, is approxi- mately 32,000, which, according to national standards, would require 320 acres of park land, suggesting 1 acre of park land per 100 persons. This park land does not necessarily have to be town owned or maintained, but it should be within the limits of the Town, and it should be open to the general public. The existing town and village parks and playgrounds, including school facilities, totals up to 380 acres of land available for recreational purposes. With a national requirement of 350 acres for the Town, there is no deficit indicated; but due to the changing social and economic character- istics of residents of towns such as Mamaroneck, this rule of thumb has been superceded by a more scientific analysis of the characteristics as produced by professional procedures and judgments. However, it is still a broadly recognizable measure of deficiency. in determining whether or not the open area available is adequate for the community's require- ments, one should not overly rely on the amount of acres. The activities and facilities desired and needed throughout each portion of the community are equally important. At the present time there are 19 parks in the Town of Mamaroneck, none of which are develope to their maximum capacity. In order to develop these areas along with other town-owned proper- ties, an analysis must be conducted to determine the existing conditions and situations concerning these park and recreation areas. The mere number of population or park acreage in the Town is not indicative of the present or future requirements of the communities. Four major considerations influence the opportunity for leisure pursuits in Mamaroneck. The capability and accessibility of the residents to engage in or travel to recreational and other services are important yardsticks reflecting needs and interests. The availability and suitability of the various existing recreational areas conditions the needs and interests of the residents, and thus affects community requirements. The capability of the resident to engage in leisure pursuits is affected by his various social and economic characteristics. Education, for example, may determine opportunity to participate in certain activities (such as sailing) because of its relationship to income. On the other hand, education also influences desires or interests in certain types of outdoor activity (such as swimming) where certain knowledge and skill is necessary.

C- The accessibility to programs and areas in the Town is most important and deserves a major con- sideration in planning a complete system to serve the requirements of the residents. Accessibility will determine, to a large extent, the opportunity to engage in favorite recreation pastimes. Of such factors, time-distance is the most important because if favorite recreation facilities are within easy reach, people are likely to make more time available by abandoning other activities. They might sacrifice some other part of the budget to have more recreation-spendable income. Accessi- bility also considers barriers and conveniences affecting travel to such activities and facilities. The availlabiliity of facilities and activities is also important in meeting the requirements of the residents. A person has little incentive to save money for a boat if he is a hundred miles (distance) and/or two hours (time) away from a lake or shore front area, nor is it likely that he would trade passively listening to or watching a ball game for an active swim if the nearest swim- ming facility is an hour's drive away. Nor will a person use a new court facility if there is already one available to him. The obvious voids of certain activities and facilities are important to correct. The suitability of activities and facilities is extremely important. Adequate supervision of programs; operation of areas, including maintenance and permanence of equipment and other features are extremely important. If such activities or facilities are inappropriate for the require- ments of the residents or resources, then the acreage factor is truly insignificant. In effect, then, people are subject to a complex series of motivations for wanting to engage in certain types of recreational pursuits. Some of these motivations include age, income, distance to recreation facilities, and adequacy of facilities and activities. Planning for park and recreation services cannot ignore the significant differences between old and young, rich and poor, educa- tional differences, as well as home owners and apartment dwellers. Thus, capability, accessibility, availability, and suitability determine opportunity. Oppor- tunity, in turn, may be influenced by any other socio-economic or physical characteristic. None of these factors can be considered in isolation from the others. Therefore, from a detailed analysis of socio-economic and physical characteristics which have been made of those residents and resources of the Town, certain deductions and conclusions have been related to such factors as age and income, as well as time-distance and hazards by the consultants. Based upon the translation of Mamaroneck's requirements as reflected by the Study Committee meetings, civic group meetings, previous reports, previous surveys, post participation records, public requests, and expert opinions, as well as the interpolation by the consulting team, various recreation and conservation activities and facilities have been incorporated into the recommenda- tions contained in a subsequent section of this report. - I PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants _►AGE 5 III DESCRIPTION OF AREA A. Examination of Resource Features The Hommocks complex will be broken down into five individual study areas, each area having its individual resource features. The first area of discussion will be the Middle School site. This 5.4-acre site was sold to the School District by the Town for the sole purpose of constructing a school building that would encom- pass the entire'site, except for a few small areas. The land itself was originally marsh land that had since been filled in. There is no vegetation on the site at the present time, but upon completio of the school, adequate landscaping will be provided. The second study area constitutes the balance of the town-owned property. This area was formerly a tidal marsh, but it was subject to extensive land fill operations. The entire area has been graded, except for the easterly boundary which borders on Gut Creek and has a difference in elevation of six feet to eight feet above the mean high water mark. The third study area is approximately 7.6 acres and lies at the south end of the Hammocks area. This area has never been subjected to a topographical survey; however, it is evident that a portion of this area, approximately four acres, was at one time under water. It appears that the area was filled, but the nature of this fill is unknown. This section of the tract is partially wooded and con- tains a few small areas requiring additional fill. The remainder of the tract, except for two isolated knolls that are rocky and wooded, is at low elevation, generally marshy, and frequently awash at high tide. A substantial amount of fill would be required to elevate this area to grades equivalent to higher areas of this tract, but due to the conservation concept, this land will remain at its present elevation in order to preserve its natural condition. The fourth study area, known as Flint Park, is presently developed as an active recreational facility. It is located directly south of the new Middle School. There are two large open areas that are separated by gently rolling terrain. There are scattered knolls of large oaks which offset the open areas. Along part of its periphery it abuts the Little Harbor Sound. This area is a low lying marsh area. Covering the marsh is salt hay and bayberry. There is also sumac, haw and burdock in the area. The fifth study area is the underwater property, approximately three acres, owned by the State. It consists of a few small islands of salt marsh surrounded by mud flats with a variety of marine life. The portion of the waterway toward Little Harbor Sound is considered navigable to small craft, up to the southerly border of Flint Park where the sea wall ends on both sides of the channel. This area of the Harbor invites small flat-bottomed craft and a variety of small sailing boats. In order to accommodate larger craft, up the end of the sea wall, the channel should be dredged and dared of underwater obstructions. The area north of the sea wall, which will be used as a conservation area, may accommodate flat-bottomed boats during periods of high tide and be used for scientific observations.

Trees •There are stands of trees throughout the entire complex. Among these are: maples, cherry, apple, sumac, postoak, and small pines. •There are isolated specimens found at various locations. In Flint Park there are large oaks and a few large pines. On the Burger property there are a great variety of specimens such as: black pine, Scotch pine, pear, apple, Norway spruce, willow, apricot, hemlocks, and nutty hickory. Shrubs ' • In Flint Park there are a small variety of shrubs. Some of these are: forsythia, bayberry, and privets. •On the Burger parcel and on the west side of Flint Park privets are growing wild. Fowl •The Burger parcel provides sanctuary for a number of birds and small game. Some of these birds are: robins, morning doves, blue jays, blue birds, and catbirds. • In the wooded areas there are gray squirrels, chipmunks, pheasants, and cottontails. Soils •The Middle School site was subject to sanitary land fill operations. This area has been graded and topped with clean soil. •The Flint Park area contained loam. Structures •A number of paths traverse the wooded areas of the Burger property. •A few rock outcroppings are found in the marshy areas, and they are ideal for bird watching. •Sea walls have been constructed along Little Harbor Sound abutting private properties. These walls provide protection against erosion. •Isolated knolls that are wooded and rocky are found in Flint Park and on the Burger parcel . •South of the recreation building in Flint Park the land slopes gradually upward, providing an ideal hill for sledding with an average 10% slope. Grasses Marsh grass is found along the low areas of FI?nt Park and along the southerly border of the Burger property. •Along the periphery of the marshy area lies a stand of phragmites and field grass. rPLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants I PAGE 7Il P Pl 1 '.."k; I . a +. / \ 7,.. r.

B. Evaluation of Property 1 The existing Flint Park and the Hommocks Property area are contiguous and physically sepa- rated by a narrow stream known as East Creek. This creek is a natural boundary line between Flint Park and the new Middle School. In order to provide better circulation of the two uses, the Town plans to construct a new 90-inch culvert. This will enclose the creek in such a manner that the, depressed area along the Town - Village boundary can be filled and brought to a suitable grade . This project is vital to the full integration of the proposed Hommocks complex for the Town and the School District in order to provide adequate playfields. • At this time, it is estimated that Flint Park is developed to 80% of its capacity. Among the li facilities provided are the following: six regulation tennis courts; ball fields equipped with back- stops and bleachers; one handball court; one basketball court; a small concrete wading pool; an all-year-round recreation building; a children's play area; and parking and rest room facilities have been provided. The undeveloped areas of Flint Park lie along a portion of East Creek and the banks of Little Harbor Sound. Many of these facilities are inadequately maintained, and much of 1 the property is inappropriately utilized. Various improvements and developments should be under- ', in the park; they are outlined in the Master Plan. i The remainder of the Hommocks property is totally undeveloped, except for that portion being used for the new Middle School . A large portion of this area is wetlands, and the balance is f heavily vegetated. At the present time, this area is being used by naturalists for various studies, experiments, and observations. Surrounding this entire complex are three main use areas. The first area, to the west, is a t: commercial district fronting on Boston Post Road. It is separated from the Hammocks Property by a natural buffer of woodland. The second area, on the northern border, is the new Middle School, a golf course, and Hommocks Road. The third area, on the east, is Little Harbor Sound and resi- dentially developed land; and to the south is also residentially developed land. To insure the proper development of this complex, the augmentation, construction, and pro- vision for conservation, recreation, and related areas and facilities are necessary. The resultant til project must insure the highest and best land use to meet the requirements of the people as well as f tPLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants I PAGE 8 I complement the resources in order to be economical, practical, and functional . It is important to review some basic criteria that should be adhered to in any future improvements or developments of the Hommocks area. 1 . Administration Water Supply Criteria: An adequate water source for potable and non-potable use. An adequately designed water system including equipment and lines considering water pressure, friction loss, pipe size, users, and other data considerations. Approved and tested plumbing fixtures. An irrigation system that can be drained in winter by opening valves. A standardization of fixtures and fittings to facilitate replacement. An accessibility of fittings, motors, pumps, and fixtures. A water supply source protected from surface runoff. Drainage Criteria: A man-made or natural surface distribution system. A subsurface drainage system with pipes, inlets, culverts, and other appurtenances of an adequate capacity covering all paved or unpaved collection areas. Lighting Criteria: Adequate security lighting for all facilities. Adequate safety lighting for roads and parking areas. Game lighting for important high-use facilities. Garbage Disposal Criteria: _._ A place for garbage to be kept in metal containers that are disinfected daily. A container which can be screened from flies and situated in an unseen, but acces- sible, area. Agarba a collection system consisting of daily collecting,_ dumping, and burning. 9 Protection Services Criteria: A primary fire fighting equipment center. An adequate police and fire protection either from on or off property sources. An adequate use of protective measures, i .e .: fencing, screening, railings, and other features which would prevent accidents. An approved design for all fireplaces and chimneys, built in accordance with fire codes. Building sprinkler systems in public assembly areas. A location approved by fire department, and permit for all open fires. Communication Criteria: An adequate layout of telephone, Ipud speaker, and intercom systems. A communication system installation underground or overhead in a location free from storm or other damage. i PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants ■ PAGE 9 \ 11 1 Maintenance Use Criteria: i ---An adequate and accessible storage area away from the main program areas. A maintenance area large enough to accommodate all necessary maintenance shops, their facilities and equipment. A location for the administrative building within control of the entrance or exit. A, Program Use Criteria: Proper location of all facilities according to like uses. A placement of the program areas in a safe situation and with adequate controls. x Supervisory Use Area Criteria: A centrally located area for administrative services required for the functional use of the pork. * ll rt A properly oriented facility of program areas for visual control and physical access. An area for adequate parking for all the various administrative services. 2. Circulation Road and Path Criteria: - An adequate interior circulation system without interference from exterior traffic congestion and hazards. A set safe maximum speed - design ratio for all access roads. A circulation system developed so as to allow for service vehicles and emergency use, basically using eight-foot wide paths. A relatively flat, open and well-drained area for some overflow parking at peak user tints. A series of paths and walks between areas considering that the longest route used should be the most interesting, otherwise the shortest distance between two points must be realized as the practical solution. 60 A sufficient parking lot to accommodate users' vehicles. IIA path system to be smooth flowing and aligned with the contours and assets of the terrain as much as possible. An awareness of visual and acoustical considerations has been incorporated in the planning of areas. Such intrusions as the loud noise of a car, the scattered debris of a stroller, the careless fires caused by hikers smoking or playing with matches, the defaced trees of a walker, the smokey air of the adjacent industry, and numerous other types of devastation incurred and caused by the lack of understanding by the user have been considered in the planning of this area. rimmummommumminmeir PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants I PAGE 1 0 o4 LI IV DETERMINATION OF LAND USE A. Delineation of Project Objectives 44 The objective of a town-wide multiple-use complex is to serve the special needs and interests of the townspeople by planned land uses brought about by an evolved process of consultant and citizens meetings. This will, in effect, achieve a project which will afford a "cafeteria of oppor- tunities" for the residents of the Town. The more intensively and actively used facilities, including play courts, playfields, and playgrounds, should be situated directly accessible to the immediate neighborhood as well as to those who will drive. They should also be directly related to the schools, without disrupting or disturbing the normal living patterns of the local residential neighborhoods. EE ay The utilization of the community complex includes a composite of operational as well as cus- todial areas and facilities. These areas and facilities should provide for such primary uses as physical education, recreation, instruction, and conservation interrelated through outdoor educa- tion. Secondary uses would be for administration and circulation. r Physical Education Each grade group, or preferably ability group, should have an exterior area as carefully planned as the interior areas in order to create the facilities that encourage the full development of all programs and provides the highest and best use of every outdoor space. The physical education area should include apparatus areas, multiple-use paved areas, multiple-use turf areas, and field areas. The complexity of these facilities reflects the grade or ability group they are to serve. Recreation Every age or ability group should be able to participate in afternoon, evening, weekend, and vacation programs on school and town properties . Such programs serving the leisure time needs of adults as well as youths should be recreative and include a broad range of activities and interests. Most activities are established from inherent interests of the students before the end of school. There is a marked similarity between the interest of in-school age or ability groups and out-of-school age or ability groups; therefore, foci- lities planned for the community school age groups can be easily adapted for the out-of- school age groups and community in general . Instruction Each grade group should have an outdoor space for study, group projects, growing plants, social discussions, and other quiet activities whenever practicable. The outdoor space should be accessible to the classroom through a door in the outside wall or from open walkways. This space should be protected from extremes of sunlight, shade, prevailing winds, and exposure to other academic areas.

In the adapted areas students would have the opportunity to conduct research, collect specimens, undertake experiments, and to participate in many experiences which will make their education vital and totally meaningful. This area should have teaching stations which would not be a museum or gallery which is oriented primarily to exhibition and information. They should make possible individual parti- cipation as well as observation. For this reason both the activities and the facilities should reflect a response through orientations, interpretations, demonstrations, instruc- tions, and experimentations. However, every station should also contain activities and facilities for exhibition and information. These aspects of the educational experience should be reflected in the school curriculum by bringing the classroom out of doors. It should be inherent in the education and recreation complex that the activities and facilities be adapted for adults as well as children, the disadvantaged as well as the advantaged; and it should be suited for listening, studying, thinking, and working together. The complex should eventually contain the most modern recreational and educational media for learning about the outdoors. The overriding premise of the plan as it has evolved to date is based on the possibility and probability of the entire complex of separately owned properties being collectively used without excessive restrictions as to use within the Town. For instance, the restriction of town residents and students in unincorporated areas from using special facilities on incorporated village property cannot be applicable if the facilities of the complex are to supplement and complement each other. There were various unifying precepts for the preparation of the Master Plan. These concepts included the following: • Give adequate consideration to each of the individual needs of the groups to be served by the education and recreation area. • Satisfy a program that will meet the general requirements of the locality and special requirements of the community. • Provide equipment, apparatus, and supplies as well as facilities to insure the opera- tion of the program. !, • Divide the area for various program uses in such a way as to facilitate circulation and administration and avoid interference between activities. • Assure user safety by careful selection and placement of facilities, including border and interior fences, entrances, and other features. • Provide for the multiple use of areas whenever practicable. • Seek to develop use areas that will be attractive and can easily be maintained. • Locate plant material to afford privacy, buffer, shade, control, and can be properly maintained. • Plan the areas and facilities on a basis of "form following function". IPLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation ConsultantsPAGE 12 If improvements or developments are undertaken on the town-owned and surrounding properties on the basis of these considerations, the areas and facilities will more safely and adequately serve the community. B. Discussion of Hammocks Complex Activities la. Present Programs in Physical Education At present, no physical education activities are conducted on any of the facilities in the complex. lb. Proposed Programs in Physical Education Communion with the outdoors provides a healthful and pleasurable way of learning. Participation in physical education programs develops skills, confidence, and a sense of team responsibility; in addition, these programs provide for individual participation, relaxation, recuperation, and they afford an outlet for physical energies. The use of games, events, and practices for teaching and testing can help to make both teaching and learning easier. Games, contests, sports, and other physical activities help to teach students to observe, think, and imagine. In addition, physical activity provides the opportunity to develop the body and to correlate physical skills with activities that may lead to life-long avocational sports and hobbies.

An outdoor setting can provide an atmos- phere in which children feel enough confidence to be able to express themselves freely. Children love to report findings, tell stories about happenings, or recount travels and other exciting experi- ences. The outdoor laboratory can help children to develop listening skills, prepare for speaking techniques, prepare for reading development, participate in acting programs, experience writing ,, skills, and to express themselves in various social situations within various physical conditions.

Present Programs in Conservation Existing Conservation Programs Conservation Demonstration Hometown Beauti ication Program - At present, a Hometown Beautification Program, sponsored and financed by the New York State Division of Youth is being used for the improvement of conservation areas established by the Town. This program includes the Hammocks area, which has been subject to a thorough clean up of all debris that has been .dumped in the area. Also, the clearing and improving of trails and other work necessary to put the area in satisfactory condition for use by the people of the community were among the projects planned for the conservation areas. Conservation Education Junior Naturalisnrogram - At present, the junior Naturalist Program is offered on the site and gives the young people of the district an opportunity to learn about nature, something which they cannot achieve as effectively in the c assn Ho. Tek program ,�include. field trips to various natural conservation areas. This summer chosen as the primary area of study. During the sessions, many problems were investigated by the students. Some subjects of the experiments and studies the students were asked to perform were: compactness of soil, and amount of plant life in the area; plant succession from water to land; birds' nests; marine ecology; and how nature acts on her environment. With the improvement of these conservation areas, many others will be able to parti- cipate in this educational program. This program is rewarding in many ways to young and old alike. The present Junior Naturalist Program can be expanded to encompass a Junior Scientist Program for Research, and a Junior Adventurist Program for Exploring. 4b. Proposed Programs in Conservation The demonstration of and education for improved conservation techniques afford the wisest utilization and protection of our natural resources. Areas should be established to provide students and residents with an opportunity to witness conservation in action.

PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants I PAGE 20 V DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT r A. Uti I ization of Property Based upon the community and property analysis, the education and recreation complex lends 4 itself to affording facilities which would provide for many of the programs and activities previously described. The comparative and evaluative procedures employed in the study reflect the desirabilit and suitability of an excellent land-use relationship. This relationship is depicted through the broad program'objectives into basic areas allowing for specific facilities to implement the activity requirements. 1 . Physical Education Areas A portion of Section I is designated as space for physical education programs, and it con- e sists of the property now owned by the School District and Town. This location will contain the major play court facilities, including basketball, volleyball, and tennis; and playfields including girls' hockey, softball, soccer, and kickball fields. It will also contain an obstacle ;. course and an apparatus area. An area should also be set aside for other multi-use facilities. Play Courts Exercise Yard Handball Intermediate Area Wall Apparatus Pavement Pre-Teen Area Fencing Apparatus Gates Obstacle Course Shuffleboard Apparatus Pavement Fencing Playfields Gates Softball Benches Lawn Basketball - Volleyball Backstop (movable) Backstops Benches Pavement Drinking Fountain Fencing Lights Gates Footba I I Horseshoes Lawn Curb Box Goal Posts (movable) Pavement Benches Fencing Field Hockey and Soccer Gates Lawn Small Games Goal Posts (movable) Benches Topsoil Tables Pavement Sunbathing Terrace Fencing deck Space and Sitting Area Lawns PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants PAGE 21 fi 2. Recreation Areas The property described as Section II, which should be designated for recreational purposes, is land owned and filled by the Town. Some portions of this land, as illustrated on the Properties Map, were deeded to the Town for inclusion as space for additional active and passive use facilities for the residents and students. The area closest to the school will be for passive use. These places will also be classified as general and special facilities. General facilities serve the total interests and needs of the local residents, while special facilities serve the individual interests and needs of all the residents of the Town. The arrangement of facilities is flexible enough to allow for possible expansion of facilities`' in conjunction with facilities in the west (Flint Park) portion of the complex. This can be effectuated if prorated costs are established, charges are levied, or funds are raised through appropriate town means in order to offset expenses and expenditures for general town use. The property, as utilized for the varied special and general types of facilities and activitie also reflects the present intricacies of the site and the opportunities that are presented by the natural "lay of the land". The ecology of the upland area has been altered by filling; thus, extensive reshaping and landscaping of the land behind a sea wall is desirable. The sea wall can act to prevent further silting of the salt marsh. Playground Play Stations (four separate age group areas) Athletic Field Apparatus (theme) Bleachers Paving Backstop Fencing Dugout Gates Lighting Benches Benches Apparatus Surfacing Drinking Fountains Sea Wall Storage Box Burl heading or Rip Rapping Overlook Float The property described as Section V is presently the Village-owned Flint Park. This area < should be designated for recreation and could be improved with additional facilities, both general and special in type. Those which are designated for general use would be limited to village residents only, while those considered for special use should be "arranged for" through a legal and financial agreement for use by the unincorporated area residents and students. PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants I PAGE 22 The following list reflects those additional facilities which are necessary in Mamaroneck: ..

However, it is recommended that if there is greater cooperation with the a villages for dual Town-Village use of some of the specialized facilities, the Town should make every effort to secure adequate property to accommodate these facilities. It is also ¢hj recommended that the Town make every effort to retain control of mooring accommodations in Larchmont Harbor for the use of all town residents. it 3. Instruction Areas 1 l Another portion of Section I is to be designated for instruction. This area will be immediately contiguous to the school building. It will consist of courtyard and terrace components. School Building Courtyard The building has varied types of courtyards that completely or semi-enclose a large piece of seemingly unattractive and unusable section of fill . This area should be terraced, and it should have seating arrangements for discussions and study; it should be provided with small plots for growing plants of varied types, space for terrariums or aquariums, small hothouses or greenhouses for plant propagation, and other activities. h PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants PAGE 23 I School Grounds Terrace The school grounds should have a terrace for group activities, meetings, and dances. Classroom Courtyard The classroom, particularly in the middle grades, should be designed for access directly to the lawn or court outside of the classroom. Here on clear days throughout the year discussions can be held, projects carried out, and experiments undertaken. This is the basic area for initiating an outdoor education program. 4. Conservation Areas Because of the ideal natural conditions which exist in the area designated Section Ill, it should be set aside for conservation-education. This area would exemplify first, the instruc- tive use, i.e., observation platforms, experimentation probes; and, secondly, the restrictive use, i.e., protection of natural and ecological features. This particular area reflects an abundance of landscape features that remain unmarred by intensive or extensive use by indivi- duals or groups. The small portion abutting and including the salt marshes should be left undis- turbed except for an outdoor laboratory station. The higher land area can be planted, stocked, and managed in accordance with the best conservation practices. The adjacent property, Section IV, is underwater land owned by the State of New York. This property should be left as part of the conservation demonstration area. If dredging is undertaken, the ecological balance of the adjacent area would be disrupted. This area can be used for experiments and study from a flat, glass bottom boat which can be hoisted onto the laboratory station and sea wall. PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants I PAGE 24 B. Composition of Facilities ' The Hammocks Complex will be composed of the following facilities which will serve the various program objectives. i i OPERATION USES r. 1 . Physical Education Areas }=k This portion of the complex will contain the following components: F Exercise Yard f * Intermediate Apparatus Area (ages 8 to 10) Number: 1 312e7-1-72 acre Description: According to gender, these children are energetic and mischievous and have different interests, yet they cooperate in games. They need skilled guidance and leadership and tolerance. They desire friends and are creative as well as helpful. The intermediate area should also provide similar elements, including paved, turfed, and apparatus areas with such pieces as: geodesic climber, muscleman, rocket ship, space cruiser, mountain climber, bunker hill, fantasy village, jungle village, swings, double slide, arch climbers, maze, and UFO. • Pre-Teen Apparatus Area (ages 10 to 12) r Number: 1 Size: 1/2 acre Description: Early adolescents are awkward and lazy. They have a rapid body growth, emotional instability, and like gangs and hero worship. They need corn- panionship, skilled supervision, and/or opportunity for recreative activities. They desire competition and hobbies. They like to be helpful . ' Thus, the outdoor area for this age group should include such elements as paved, iI turfed and equipped areas with: spiderweb, parallel bar, and horizontal ladder. '< • Obstacle Course (all ages) 11 Number: 1 Size: 120' x 150' Description: Children of all ages must be concerned with increased physical fitness activity. A court with a variety of climbing, balancing, jumping, and other activity apparatus can be creatively and progressively established. Play Courts One of the fundamental physical educational spaces in the complex will be a facility for court games such as: tennis, handball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, and other court games. It is recommended that these facilities be lighted for night use and that they he adjacent to the playfields to serve as an accessory use . PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants ' PAGE 25 41111 • Multiple-Use Court An area is recommended to be included for volleyball, basketball, paddle tennis, organized group hard-surfaced games, and other programmed court events. These multiple-use courts proposed can be set up for a variety of uses on a short or long-term basis, depending upon the demand. Number: 3 courts should be provided near the high school Size: 120' x 180' - overall, including safety zone for each court Description: The multiple-use courts will have permanently installed basketball backstops and goals offset, yet integrally designed as part of the fence line, eliminating free standing posts. Volleyball and paddle tennis posts shall be set in sleeves in order to facilitate easy removal . The court lines will be painted in two different colors, line weights, or by dashing, to differentiate boundaries, or tapes can be used to change court dimensions. • Handball Courts Handball courts provide an almost year-round facility. Enthusiasts, both young and old, often can be seen shoveling snow from the courts immediately following a winter storm, or patiently waiting on line in order to use these courts. The courts also serve as paddle ball and practice tennis backstops. Number: 4 regulation size handball courts will be provided Size: 60' x 100', with ample safety zones Description: The handball courts will contain a reinforced concrete wall playable on both sides. These courts will be fenced with 12' high chain link fencing with a fine 1 " mesh fabric. • Horseshoe Courts Horseshoe courts properly designed and maintained will provide an attraction for both young and old. Shorter pitching distance will be established on two courts for beginners and children. Number: 2 regulation courts, 2 junior courts (children's use) Size: 65' x 60' - overall, including safety and end zones Description: Horseshoe pits are developed with a clay-sand mix contained within a U-shaped wood frame of approximately 6' square. • Boccie Courts 4 Boccie affords an interesting and challenging outdoor bowling game. Number: 2 regulation courts 3ize: 36' x 120' - overall Description: Wood curbs and packed clay sun face are suggested • Tennis Courts Stadium (all-weather) Tennis in the community is one of the most popular sports participated in by ti both men and women.

The court will be colorcoat surface applied over macadam, an all-weather type surface. A practice wall will be provided behind the two courts so that beginners may practice stroke techniques. 1 PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants ' PAGE 26 Playfields we (-rounded active physical education program must include strenuous and com- petitive sports activities. These field sports provide for maximum physical effort and mental development. The field games are not limited to students; they are also designed for use by other residents during non-school hours for adults and youngsters through such activities ?`. as junior baseball and softball leagues. The design of these field areas will allow for multiple-use, including sports such as soccer, touch football, and girls' field hockey. I' 2. Recreation Areas This portion of the complex, in two portions, will consist of the following components: Play Lawns • Open Space Number: 1, adjacent to picnic area i Size: 100' x 100' Description: The design and theme will be an open lawn for various group games, mostly for softball and touch football playing, parades, relay races, and outing events. There will also be a picnic area for informal picnicking and an informal natural shelter. • Game Lawn Number: 1 Size: 100' x 100', irregular Description: Formalized lawn areas highly maintained for various special uses can be provided. These are located adjacent to playground and at various areas through- out the park: lawn bowling, croquet, quoits, putting, frisbee, clock golf, and net golf driving. 4a 5 Play Courts t • Shuffleboard Courts !-- Shuffleboard courts are a desirable addition to a court game complex. The usual deterrent to fully utilizing these courts is the lack of provision for storageII and checking of equipment. Benches and shade, score boards, and concrete courts t`= will provide the attraction. There are no public shuffleboard courts in the area. These courts should be lit for night-time use. Number: 4 regulation courts will be provided Size: 56' x 6',with ample safety zones Description: The areas designated for shuffleboard provide recreation for children, young adults, and senior adults who desire to participate in a more relaxing activity. ,t: • Lawn Bowling Court Lawn bowling courts will provide an exciting old world game popular with many senior citizens. There are many residents in the area over the age of 60. Spectator seating and players' benches should be shaded. There are no lawn bowling courts i;, in the area. These courts should be lit for night-time use. Number: 1 play court will be provided t Size: 40' x 40', including safety end zones Description: The surface material will be turf. PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Rec eation Consultant: I PAGE 27 Play Yard Tie play yard facilities planned for the complex will represent the ultimate in con- temporary design and safety in a natural setting. These facilities are one segment of a recreation program which will serve all pre-adult age groups. The growth and maturity of a child's inspirational and moral outlook is often developed from the free expression 1 of play with others in his peer group. it is from this environment that a child's social !I responsibilities are often influenced. The playground will be used by local children after 1's, school and on weekends; in addition, it will serve as a learning experience during school hours. Age groupings by play yard separations will be adhered to in designing the foci- .4 lities, as discussed in the following social characteristics of the user groups. This informa- lul ' is provided as a guide for the detailed design of each play yard area. • Tot Lot (pre-school age) Number: 1 Size: 1/4 acre Description: Infants are energetic and curious. They need individual attention, exercise and close supervision. They desire exercise and freedom. The tot lot area should provide some of the following elements: a small paved area for group games; a small lawn area for group games; and an apparatus area with such apparatus as: tot swings, porpoise, turtle-tent, saddle-slide, little ranger, space spinner, bunkin' bronco, pedestal tables, martian canals, and lilliputian village. 1 Primary Area (ages 4 to 6) Number: 1 Size: 1/4 acre 0 Descrition: Children of these ages are hapPY, helpful, creative, competitive, energetic, and playful with others. They need supervision, recognition, and rest, x as well as an opportunity to create and a sense of achievement. They desire itt adventure and action, and they like to be helpful and make things. The primary area should also provide elements, including paved, turfed, and apparatus areas with such apparatus as: geodesic climber, caterpillar climber, big ranger station, mountain climber, martian outpost, castle, fantasy village, I, junior ladder, fireman's slide, ring ding, and wing ding. Picnic Grounds (Small and Large Group) Number: Scattered size: 1 acre Description: The picnic grounds in the park will be one of the areas in which the entire family can participate. The proximity of supplemental recreation activities will provide a variety of activities for the picnickers. The picnic grounds will be available for family outings, picnicking, partying, and cooking. Only families or small groups will be permitted on the town property near the promenade . Occa- sionally, large groups can be scheduled. The picnic area will be surrounded by 1 plantings, and eventually by wooded areas to provide shade and to impart a feeling of the country. Included in this area will be picnic tables, grills, and benches. 14 L000mmmimomoumoommrmmemmmrl r 1. PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants I PAGE 281 % 4 Sea Wa II Number: 1 Size: 200' long Description: The sea wall can be used as a promenade and overlook. It should have ' a float for launching sculls, sunfish and sailfish, as well as flat-bottomed dinghys, x and a ramp for use with instructional boating and crewing programs. Fishing is also an activity which can be enjoyed on the sea wall. Athletic Field Number: 1 Size: 250' x 250' description: The proposed field provides the benefit of organized sports such as baseball, football, soccer, or lacrosse facilities with night lighting and spectator stands for maximum day and night use . The facility will provide a community `. activity for both spectators and performers. • Field One multi-use baseball and football field with a 250-300' radius outfield limit for baseball should be considered. The field will provide a large expanse of open area sufficient for regulation baseball, football, soccer, or lacrosse games. • Bleachers There will be two sets of permanent stands that will be able to accommodate approximately 250 persons. The bleachers will be portable bleacher sections. If required, they can be moved for special events and overflow spectator seating at other areas. • Night Lighting Y The area will be illuminated by high voltage multi-vapor or mercury vapor lamping. • Control Booth A small portable control booth for ticket sales and supervision should be provided. • Press Box A small portable booth atop the bleachers for press and game officials should be provided. • Score Board Asmall portable score board for spectator information is necessary. i • Public Address System A loudspeaker system for game information and announcements is desirable . • Team Area f.

Instruction Areas Study Courts Adjacent to exits from the academic wings should be small courts for group and class study. Partitions should be of wood or plastic panels or plant materials. Project Courts There should be at least one outside court provided with water and electrical outlets and work benches for use on special projects. b 4. Conservation Areas Laboratory A small indoor or outdoor space for exploration and investigation of materials, soils, water minerals, and gases is desirable. This can be a very durable building of natural materials to blend into the environment. The school should be used for primary laboratory ,. use . 14 Observatory A small indoor or outdoor platform for the observation and identification of animals, fish, insects, birds, reptiles, shellfish, and their natural processes is desirable . pa r M ADMINISTRATION USES 0. t Services • Garbage Collection There should be an P adequate number of trash receptacles and waste containers distributed throughout the complex . A screened service area should be provided. IZ • Protection There should be adequately placed railings, fences, and other control devices. 0 A police call booth could be advantageously included as apart of the ' 9 Y laboratory station. ci • Supervision There should be a locker and office facility in the school with outside exits i t4 for the various supervisors and leaders. li • Equipment Distribution ka There should be a storage and handling room in the school with outside exits gx s for equipment distribution. til Uti Iities ;i • Water Distribution 4 The potable water will be supplied by the Town Water Departments from an . existing water main in the street. Drinking fountains should be located in key areas. u Past experience with low pressure in similar areas during summer high water demand periods has caused the consultants to recommend the installation of a separate irriga- tion system for the field areas. 6 : LPLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants I PAGE 30 • Lawn Irrigation A semi-automatic or fully automatic lawn irrigation system must be considered to properly maintain the turf and landscaped areas of the school-park grounds with the least manpower supply possible. Conventional hose bibb and hose sprinkler systems are initially cheaper to install, but the upkeep will quickly outcost a semi-automatic or automatic system. The use of heavy duty plastic pipe Class 350 (polyvinyl chloride) can eliminate deep burial of mains and will provide a permanent installation. This lawn irrigation system could be tied into a pump system to obtain water from the upstream fresh water culvert source for irrigation. • Electric Power Distribution Power lines will be extended into the park from the existing road within the park. Every effort should be made to have this service extended underground, since the entrance to the park will not be aesthetically pleasing with large poles and power lines exposed. The electric power distribution center for the school-park site should be located in a small maintenance building with a pad for transformers. All electric service within the park area should be underground. • Communication A public address system for the pool, court, and fields should be considered. Emergency telephone lines should also be connected to the office as well as the call box at the conservation laboratory and at an emergency box near the field and pool . ° Storm Drainage Distribution At key locations throughout the school-park site a storm drainage intake system '$ k4 of inlets and pipes will collect and carry storm water to the channel. • Sanitary Sewerage Distribution There should be an enlarged rest room facility with outside exits within the school for public use. Otherwise, a comfort station will have to be provided. Traffic Road Circulation There should be a primary and secondary road system. A primary road should be the main ingress and egress road to the parking lot for cars and buses. The secondary road should only be used by service vehicles. This road would be narrow and uncurbed, wide enough for a pickup. • Path Circulation There should be a pedestrian path as a means of traversing the area. There should also be a cycle path as a means of circling the complex . • Trail Circulation There should be various nature trails identified only by trail signs. • Parking Circulation There should be a major parking lot for the collection of cars at the north end of the site. The parking lot should accommodate 250 cars. • Benches and Sign Location Adequate benches should be placed along paths and trails, as well as interpre- tative and directive signs.

In the process, many meetings were held with the various interested citizens in conjunction with the officials from all areas of the Town to formalize the plan and pro- gram results as herein interpreted by the consulting team. 1 The recommendations have been Y completed after a thorough analysis of the Town and its corn- g munities. Based upon this analysis, specialized recreation activities and facilities have been recommended which the Town can best provide to all residents in the ensuing years in a practical and logical manner. to The report interprets the basic requirements of the residents of the Town and its villages, and describes the quality and quantities of the various types of facilities which can be provided. It also calls attention to some of the managerial and operational problems involved in such a complex .` The concept, evolved during the study, of providing a year-round complex considers both natural and human requirements. The investment in property, plant, andpersonnel cannot justify q P P h', 1 Y �, ra limited seasonal use. The special facilities should add a unique attractiveness to the complex t 4; for all residents throughout the year. For purposes of this study, only desirable and suitable facilities which could be contained r within the limits of the complex were considered for inclusion in the program and plan. These �' facilities were incorporated because of: is • The ease in transportation to the area being adjacent to the Boston Post Road, a main east-west artery in the Town. • The resource characteristics available within the property. • The town-wide requirements for all-day and evening type specialized facilities. • The necessity for more open space within the Town with a 33% deficiency. 4 • The possibility of several other sites for other specialized uses, such as ice skating, boat launching ramps, etc. • The close location of several other important scientific study areas for cooperative work. • The historical and geological importance of the shore and its salt marshes. ti • The importance of water for boating to the Sound for all residents and students within the Town. • The proximity of residential and commercial encroachment already disturbs some of ' k the ecological balance. • The large number of children who can be participating in programs in the area because of of the adjacent school . I� - • Security of equipment, buildings and supplies becomes or is possible in a concentrated complex. 'k R i PLANNING ASSOCIATES - Education and Recreation Consultants PaGE 45 ll, • The lack of many basic specialized facilities in the Town. It is the consultants' belief that the Hommocks Complex represents one of the few balanced and compatible recreation, education, and conservation complexes in the country that can be geared to resident and student needs.
