First Sunday Market in Lake Grove

It's back for 2024 with expanded dates and themes!
Only one Sunday is left in this fun series of markets in Lake Grove - November 3.
Take advantage of it, and mark your calendar. The theme for this event is "Fall Harvest."

Rassekh Skatepark

Effective immediately, parking at the Bethlehem Christian Pre-School is no longer available for use by skatepark visitors. This decision was made with the start of the school year to prioritize the safety of families during drop-off, pick-up, and other pre-school activities. Ensuring a safe environment for everyone, including nearby families and children, is our top priority. Please be aware that this is a private property and parking enforcement measures, including towing, may be in place.
