Nearly 15 acres of land in Clarkstown have been purchased by the county to remain as open space. Rockland County Executive Ed Day says three properties on South Mountain Road in New City were bought through the County’s Open Space Land Acquisition Program. The move bolsters South Mountain County Park, a 240-acre park running between Central Highway in New City to Route 45 in Pomona, providing a new access point to the park and the Long Path.
