Mamaroneck Greenway

Assemblage has partnered with the Village of Mamaroneck to design a Greenway along the Sheldrake River in a low-lying neighborhood that endures frequent flooding. Together with eDesignDynamics, our goal is to transform the village’s riverfront into a resilient "third space"—an inviting public realm where people can gather, connect, and strengthen community ties to the river.

Third spaces are places that foster inclusiveness, trust, and shared experiences, making them essential for vibrant and connected communities. In neighborhoods that lack public space, greenways create the opportunity for new third spaces that energize community engagement.
In Mamaroneck, the first Greenway phase will introduce three new pocket parks that act as entrances to the Greenway, offering shaded, flexible gathering spots that encourage cultural interaction and exchange.

In addition to social resiliency, green infrastructure design will enhance flood resilience and stormwater quality in Mamaroneck’s rivers and Long Island Sound.  We are excited to lead the design of a third space that will cultivate belonging, inspire interaction, and reintroduce the Sheldrake as a social and ecological lifeline of Mamaroneck.

The project is generously funded by Cornell University’s Sea Grant program with support by Long Island Sound Study.
