Explore the Future Crockwell Preserve
SOMETHING NEW IS TAKING ROOT!
The Crockwell Preserve is a proposed environmental park in Glens Falls, New York, named in honor of Douglass and Margaret Crockwell. Once part of their family estate, the land is expected to be transformed into a public preserve featuring trails, gardens, wetlands, and an education center. The planned project celebrates the Crockwells' legacy while promoting conservation, recreation, and community engagement.
Our Vision
Our Vision is to transform the former Glens Falls Tennis and Swim Club – once a portion of the historic Douglass Crockwell estate – into a dynamic and pivotal community asset: the Crockwell Preserve and Environmental Education Center. The now neglected site will be repurposed to provide all-season recreation, wildlife observation, hands-on ecology, and educational opportunities for students, residents, and visitors alike. The project blends cultural heritage with environmental stewardship, honoring the legacy of Douglass Crockwell—a renowned artist and civic leader—through landscape preservation, sustainable design, and a fostering of local community.
