The Hudson Area Library and the Greenport Historical Society present: “Beyond the Farmyard: The Development of Oakdale Park” by Paul Barrett. Oakdale Park in Hudson is a 14-acre public park with a spring-fed lake, sand beach, trails, and playground. It is used by the City of Hudson Youth Department as a summer day camp site, a fishing, canoeing and swimming area for many locals, a skate park and basketball area, a natural respite from the city, and a pedestrian path for those coming from the Fairview Avenue shopping area. A question and answer period and refreshments will follow the talk. For more information email programs@hudsonarealibrary.org, call 518-828-1792 x101, or visit the main desk in the library.
