History
Tallman Mountain State Park was formed in 1928 after the Palisades Interstate Park Commission moved to condemn the 164-acre (0.66 km2) property of a quarry operator in an effort to preserve a portion of the Hudson River Palisades. Park facilities were improved in 1933 by Temporary Emergency Relief Administration workers, who constructed a swimming pool, recreation fields, and picnic areas. The park was expanded in 1942 with the addition of 542 adjacent acres (2.19 km2).[3]
Description
Tallman Mountain State Park is a day-use only park containing five miles (8 km) of hiking trails, including sections of the Long Path and the Tallman Mountain Bike Path.[5] The park also offers a running track, tennis courts, playing fields, cross-country skiing, and picnic areas.[1] For an additional fee, visitors may also use a pool complex within the park, operated by a private vendor under an agreement with the Palisades Interstate Park Commission since summer 2016.[1][6]
The park includes part of Piermont Marsh, which is included in the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve.[7][8]
