Welcome to the neighborhood, Birdhouse!

The Village of Lindenhurst is pleased to announce that the playground at Village Park has officially reopened.

Thanks to favorable temperatures and sunny weather, the Department of Public Works was able to complete temporary patchwork to address hazardous areas of the playground’s rubber surfacing.

The Village is currently in the bid phase for a full replacement of the playground’s rubber surface, which has deteriorated in certain areas due to the high volume of use the park receives. This temporary repair allows the playground to safely remain open while the larger project moves forward. Updates on the full replacement project will be shared as they become available.

Thank you to our Department of Public Works for their hard work in completing this much-needed improvement!

The Village of Lindenhurst proudly hosted the “Loving Lindenhurst” Art Reception last night at the Lindenhurst Memorial Library, bringing together families, residents, and our Junior Mayors for a wonderful evening celebrating community pride.

Attendees had the opportunity to view the many creative and heartfelt projects submitted by students, each showcasing the unique ways they love Lindenhurst. The event was a great success and a true reflection of the talent and spirit within our community.

A special thank you to the Lindenhurst Memorial Library, and especially Library Director Lisa Kropp and Assistant Director Caitlin Sempowich, for their hard work and dedication in coordinating this memorable event!

The Village of Lindenhurst proudly celebrated Arbor Day with the help of students from the Lindenhurst School District by planting a new tree at the Meridale Park Triangle.

Students joined Village representatives in planting an Eastern Redbud tree, a species native to Long Island known for its vibrant spring blooms and environmental benefits. Eastern Redbuds support local ecosystems by providing food for pollinators, improving soil health, and enhancing the beauty of community green spaces.

This hands-on event gave students the opportunity to learn about the importance of environmental stewardship while making a lasting contribution to their community.

The Village extends its sincere thanks to Keith Arco and Al Lopez of the Village’s Horticulture Department for their guidance and assistance in making this Arbor Day celebration a success
