#INSPIRATION PARK DRIVERS#
The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation website says that "Inspiration Point Shelter opened in 1925 as a resting place for pedestrians and leisure drivers on the Henry Hudson Parkway. The Inspiration Point Shelter provides mostly unobstructed views of the Palisades across the river and of the George Washington Bridge to the south. Take your own inspirations to the park and let them fulfill you as you enjoy the great outdoors in Washington Township.The Inspiration Point Shelter is a popular rest stop for cyclists along the Hudson River Greenway within Fort Washington Park in Manhattan, which extends to Inwood Hill Park to the north and Riverside Park to the south. The sky is the limit and we hope that future generations will be able to continue the inspiration and see this park mature and blossom just like the wild flowers that grow on the property. This area has the potential to be a tremendous resource for those members of our community to be proud of, perhaps various fields for sporting events, walking/biking trails, and pavilions or maybe even an indoor event center.
The long-term outlook is nothing but inspiration itself. Cross-country ski trails that are professionally groomed have already been added and we hope to see an area for sled riding too. The establishment of a parking area near the pond and some removal of red brush will also be completed.
#INSPIRATION PARK UPGRADE#
In the following year we hope to upgrade a roadway into the middle of the park and provide for an alternative exit onto Neyland Road as well. This park doesn’t allow hunting so you can feel comfortable visiting it any time of the year.
Those of you that enjoy bird watching will be pleased to know that Bald Eagles have been seen in the park area. Take a walk around the paths that already exist and you will see lovely views of the woods, and a beautiful deep pond surrounded by fertile fields. Inspiration Park is situated just behind the Veteran’s Memorial Park and adjacent to Wainer Park at the rear portion of the Municipal Complex. Yes, we were inspired and that is how the name of this gorgeous piece of heaven came to be. The day it was announced these rolling fields and wooded terrain were going to be added to recreational amenities of the Township, everyone started to envision just what could be done to provide long-lasting outdoor fun for all to enjoy. That is the case when Washington Township was gifted some 70 acres or land already adjacent to current park lands. Inspiration can come from the generosity of others as well. All know when we are inspired and inspiration can be create some amazing results. Just what is an inspiration? A trip to the Webster dictionary describes it as follows: the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
