A local park will be closed starting today for a multi-million dollar upgrade. News 12 says Demarest Kill County Park in New City will be brought up to more modern safety standards. The more-than 75 year-old park’s hiking trail, picnic area, wooden fishing station and benches will be closed, possibly until sometime this summer, as the $5.7 million upgrades are made. The 30-acre park is located off New Hempstead Road near South Little Tor Road in New City by the county jail.
