Robert Moses State Park – 100th Anniversary Celebration Weekend!

This year marks the 100^th anniversary for Robert Moses State Park, and it is being celebrated this entire weekend with events at each field of the beach. Coinciding with the celebration is the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the newly renovated facility building located at Field 3. This $700,000 renovation is part of a larger $28 million revitalization of Long Island's state parks.

This new facility building features expanded food concession, in addition to a larger beach shop and first aid center. The bathrooms were completely renovated and redesigned to be more spacious and allow for a better flow of traffic through the changing areas; a new family bathroom was added as well.

Festivities surrounding the celebration of the 100^th anniversary include painting and photography displays, a children's art contest, children's entertainment and free ferry boat rides. There will be a sandcastle contest at noon on Saturday, June 28^th on Field 3, and a treasure hunt / beach dig at noon on Sunday, June 28^th at Field 4. The beach dig is being run by WBAB, in conjunction with Banana Boat.

A number of prizes will be given away, including concert tickets and a trip to the AVP Manhattan Beach Open (volleyball). The trip includes roundtrip airfare, three night's hotel accommodations, $500 cash, and two tickets to the AVP event and Banana Boat Beach BBQ on September 19^th.

This should be a fun weekend for all at Robert Moses State Park. Bring the family and come join in on the celebration!

JUN

2008

Adam - I lived on Long Island for about 7 years. I used to go either to Robert Moses or Jones Beach after work with a book and a large soda. It was wonderful that time of day - not too many people, the weather would be cool enough to enjoy, and I would have some relaxing time after a long day at the office. This was back in the early 90's.

You brought back some memories...

DON: That does sound like a very relaxing time. I love going to the beach late in the day when most people are going home. If time allows, I'll probably do just that today. I'm glad that this brought back some good memories for you. By the way, where did you live on Long Island? Thanks for commenting, Don.

Hi Adam - I went to school at Adelphi University. I had apartments in Mineola and West Hempstead. I spent a summer out in Southold on the North Fork.

My young, single, carefree days. Before kids!

Adam - This sounds wonderful ! The beach.....oh, it sounds so nice and peaceful !

Grud - forgot to sign out than back in, it's me Adam, Melissa Grant, tired and screwey but me none the less...lmao

Not too many people...in Maine. Bring your soda and book! People ..too many of them is what seems to take away a nice spot you retreated to years ago right?

Adam: Sounds like a wonderful family outing--are you taking yours to Robert Moses State Park?

Debe in Charlotte

Jones Beach...ahhh, so many great memories - after the prom, lazy Sundays, westend beach etc. etc. It is by far the most beautiful beach with gorgeous sand. Thanks for bringing me back...

DON: I actually did a post last year about what Robert Moses Beach used to mean to me vs. what it is now with kids. It's a lot different, to say the least!

MELISSA: Don't blame yourself. I've been noticing that sometimes I get timed out of AR, and need to sign back in. The beach can be very relaxing if you go at the right time of day. I prefer early morning or late afternoon. Thanks for commenting, Melissa.

ANDREW: I would like to take a trip up to Maine at some point. I'm told that it's a beautiful place. The less crowded, the better. Thank you for commenting, Andrew.

DEBE: We are going to try and get there late in the day, provided that I get all of my work done, and the little one cooperates. Thanks for commenting, Debe.

JOAN: I have those same memories of the beach from my high school / college days. It's a bit different now with kids in tow, but enjoyable none the less. Thanks for sharing the memories, Joan.

Adam~I love the beach...have spent many years on them here in Florida, but have never had the opportunity to visit New York, let alone Long Beach. I've added Robert Moses State Park to my list of places to visit! When I do, I'll be sure to look you up!

Adam - THat is the one thing I wish we had here, a "real" beach. Every time we go to one of the coasts, we are sure to schedule in beach time.

Adam ~ I haven't been to Robert Moses or Jones Beach in years! I used to love to go, but then I had more free time when I was 18, 19 years old! If you go, I hope you'll post about it. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.

LaSHAWN: It's good to see you up and around. I hope that you're feeling ok. Robert Moses is like home for me, since I've been going there since I was a kid. I've spent time at Jones Beach and Sunken Meadow as well, but still have a lot more to experience on Long Island. If you do make it up here (during beach season of course), I'd love to get together. Thanks for commenting, LaShawn.

STEVE: That seems to be a common thing amongst people that don't live on either coast. I think that sometimes we take for granted how easy our access is to the beach. Thanks for commenting, Steve.

KATHY: I can't believe that you haven't been to either one of them in years! I guess it is a bit of a hike from the North Shore, but it's worth the trip. I did spend much more time there when I was in my teens and twenties also because it was a social hangout. If we get out there today, I'll definitely do a post about what the day was like. Thanks for commenting, Kathy.

Hi Adam, I got married at Robert Moses and back when I lived on Long Island (Huntington Village) I loved that beach! Still miss it and go back whenever we're in NY.

DIANE: That is such a cool story. I didn't even know that they did weddings at Robert Moses. How long ago did you leave Long Island?

Hi Adam, We lived there till 2002 when we moved to Charlotte, actually went back in 2006 to get married - we had to get a permit for the wedding but it was worth it, stunningly beautiful setting. Reading your post brought back some awesome memories for me, thank you!! Hope you and your family get to enjoy the celebration this weekend

Adam, I remeber going to robert moses beach and wandering (to my surprise) into the nude section, does it still exist? I must say a treasure hunt could be interesting ;-)

DIANE: I'm glad that I was able to bring back some great memories for you. It sounds like you had a very cool wedding.

PETER: Did you live on Long Island? If so, when did you leave? I have heard about the nude beach, but I have never "wandered" in there. I know people that have, and it sounds like I might not want to based on what I've heard. Thanks for commenting, Peter.

Adam - no, I never lived in long island. I grew up in the bronx and moved up to westchester, but we go out to long island quite a bit. mostly montauk, but there were many times in the past that went to robert moses and jones beach.

PETER: That's cool that you come all the way out here to go to the beach. You've probably been to Montauk more than me. I've only gone once (after prom). We should grab a drink the next time that you come to Long Island.
