Parking for the event will be at Crawford Park. There will be a haunted trail set up within the Park.

These coats will be distributed to the Carver Center and Holy Rosary Church where they will be provided to our local needy neighbors.

Collection boxes will be located at the Rye Brook Recreation Department, Anthony J. Posillipo Center, Port Chester Middle School, Park Avenue School and also at Corpus Christi Church. The basketball courts at Pine Ridge Park will be repaved during the month of September and be ready for use by October. Online registration will begin on Monday, September 8th at 9:30pm.

RYE BROOK PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT CODE OF CONDUCT The Rye Brook Recreation Department (“Department”) wishes to create rules of conduct that coaches, parents/guardians of youth participants and all spectators shall observe so as to allow our children to mature physically, emotionally and socially and create a positive experience for our children while participating in the Rye Brook Recreation sports programs. A coach/parent/guardian of a player participating in a Department program shall at all times act in the best interests of the children and it is understood that the best interests of the child translates into the best interests of the game and the best interests of the Department. The coach/parent/guardian needs to help players learn and work to improve skills and to ensure that the player’s athletic experience is one of learning, fun and enjoyment. The job of coaching and the job’s success does not depend upon winning. A coach/parent/guardian should always exhibit patience with players, umpires and other parents and coaches. Players should never be pushed beyond limits with regards to practice or in game participation. A coach/parent/guardian should understand that children have many daily pressures and youth sports should not be one of those pressures. The Department recognizes the crucial role that the coach/parent/guardian plays in molding the athletic experience of the child. Accordingly, the coach/parent/guardian should always be demonstrating good sportsmanship and setting the example for all parents and all players by allowing the children to be the center of attention during games and practices. These principles serve as the overriding guideline coaches/parents/guardians participating or otherwise involved in a Department program shall observe and abide by within the following rules of conduct.
