MAMARONECK GREENWAY
Connecting communities, designing with water, & restoring habitat along the Sheldrake River
The Village of Mamaroneck Greenway has been in the making since 2023. A completed Greenway will provide 3 miles of pedestrian connectivity and over 20 acres of new green space throughout the Village to address issues like flooding, water quality, and riparian habitat along the Sheldrake River and Mamaroneck River. Improvements along the rivers will also activate local pedestrian corridors and provide public green space to many communities within a greenspace desert.
The Sheldrake and Mamaroneck Rivers have been intensely modified due to historic development and lack of stewardship. The once natural stream systems are now channelized, removed from the public’s eye, and prone to intense flooding issues. The Greenway is an opportunity to merge the Village’s goals of improving stormwater management, creating retention spaces for floodwater, restoring the health of the rivers, and improving pedestrian recreation.
