Hettling Park Pavilion
Hettling Park Pavilion
We’re now building a pavilion at Hettling Park to give families and groups a covered place to gather, picnic, and enjoy the park in any weather.
Native Pollinator Meadow
Native Pollinator Meadow
We’re applying for a grant to restore our back meadow as a native pollinator meadow. The proposed project will restore a 6.13 acre section of Hettling Park at Clermont as pollinator meadow habitat with trails, vernal pool improvements, and historic apple orchard restoration, plus interpretive signs and opportunities for public education. We’ll share news as soon as we hear back.
About
About
In 2018, the Clermont Town Board decided to permanently preserve, protect, maintain, improve and enhance its natural resources, parkland and recreational opportunities for current and future generations.
To that end, the Town Board created the volunteer committee, Friends of Clermont Parks, to provide recommendations for the development of the park, draft a proposed budget associated with the recommendations, identify potential funding sources, and recommend a phased implementation plan.
Details about improvements to Clermont Park and the Plan for Hettling Park at Clermont can be found here.
The Parks
The Parks
Clermont has two adjacent recreational parks: Clermont Park and Hettling Park at Clermont. When combined, these two parks offer a complex of over 26 acres of outdoor space for the community to enjoy. Both parks are owned and managed by the Town of Clermont.
Clermont Park, located at 1212 Route 6, offers several opportunities for sports and recreation, namely swings, half basketball court, little league baseball field, vernal pool, and hiking trails.
Hettling Park at Clermont, located at 1811 Route 9, offers soccer fields, walking trails and a hilltop veterans monument with fabulous views of the Catskill Mountains. Hettling Park is also home to our new playground, and a pavilion is under construction.
