Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park

Welcome to New York's Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park located in the town of Great River, a Long Island Suburb of New York City. This beautiful and historic State Park was first established in 1936 when the "Westbrook Estate" of William Bayard Cutting was transferred to the State Government by his daughter Olivia James. She wanted the estate to be used for the following purposes; "That Westbrook shall be an oasis of beauty and quiet, and that it shall be be a source of pleasure, rest, and refreshment to those who delight in outdoor beauty." and "That it shall serve to bring about a greater appreciation and understanding, on the part of both the general public and of those professionally concerned with landscape design of the value and importance of informal planting, and thus be an influence in preserving the amenities of our native landscape." Come out and appreciate the beauty and history of this place.
