Gouveia Park

Gouveia Park, located at 1300 Albany Post Road, Croton-on-Hudson, NY, was gifted to the Village of Croton-on-Hudson in 2015 from John and Laurel Gouveia. The house on the property was built in 1967, and the Gouveias bought the property in 1984. The Village accepted the Gift of the 15.69-acre property and house along with a $1,000,000 endowment and agreed to the terms and conditions outlined in Ms. Gouveia’s Will - chiefly, that the property shall be preserved and maintained, and its principal use be a park which shall be open to the public. The Village is actively exploring various recreational uses for the property.
