The Park at East Hills opened on Labor Day in 2006. It sits on land previously occupied by the Roslyn Air National Guard Station.[1][2][3] It is open exclusively to residents of East Hills and their guests, and park cards are required for entry.[1][2][4][5]
The transformation of the facility, which the Village of East Hills purchased from the United States Government following the closure of the station, cost approximately $7,000,000.[1][2]
