• Community Use of Playgrounds and Athletic Fields

  Dear Island Park Community,

  We hope you and your families enjoyed a restful and joyful holiday weekend. As we transition into the summer season, we are pleased to see so many community members enjoying our school district’s playgrounds and athletic fields.

  These shared spaces are valuable community resources, and we are proud to offer them for recreation when school is not in session. To ensure the safety and well-being of all users—especially our youngest residents—we kindly remind everyone of the posted rules for playground and field use:

  • Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times
  • No rough play on the playground equipment
  • Jumping off slides is strictly prohibited
  • Skateboards, bicycles, and motorbikes are not allowed on the playground or athletic fields 
  • No glass bottles in the playground area
  • Dogs are not permitted within the fenced playground/athletic field area

  Over the holiday weekend, there were several observed instances of rule violations. While we understand that community members are eager to enjoy the outdoors, we want to take this opportunity to reinforce these guidelines—not to restrict fun, but to promote safety, responsibility, and respect for shared spaces.

  We thank you in advance for your cooperation and support in helping us maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for all members of the community. Together, we can ensure that our playgrounds and fields remain enjoyable for everyone.

  Wishing you a safe and active season ahead!

  Estimada comunidad de Island Park,

  Esperamos que ustedes y sus familias hayan disfrutado de un fin de semana festivo tranquilo y alegre. Con la llegada del verano, nos complace ver a tantos miembros de la comunidad disfrutando de los parques infantiles y campos deportivos de nuestro distrito escolar.

   

  Estos espacios compartidos son valiosos recursos comunitarios y nos enorgullece ofrecerlos para la recreación durante el receso escolar. Para garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar de todos los usuarios, especialmente de nuestros residentes más pequeños, les recordamos las normas publicadas para el uso de los parques infantiles y campos deportivos:

   

  • Los niños menores de 12 años deben estar acompañados por un adulto en todo momento.
  • No se permite el juego brusco en los juegos infantiles.
  • Está estrictamente prohibido saltar de los toboganes.
  • No se permiten patinetas, bicicletas ni motocicletas en los parques infantiles ni en los campos deportivos.
  • No se permiten botellas de vidrio en el área de juegos infantiles.
  • No se permiten perros dentro del área cercada de juegos infantiles/campo deportivo.

  Durante el fin de semana festivo, se observaron varios casos de infracciones de las normas. Si bien entendemos que los miembros de la comunidad están ansiosos por disfrutar del aire libre, queremos aprovechar esta oportunidad para reforzar estas pautas; no para restringir la diversión, sino para promover la seguridad, la responsabilidad y el respeto por los espacios compartidos.

   

  Agradecemos de antemano su cooperación y apoyo para ayudarnos a mantener un entorno limpio, seguro y acogedor para todos los miembros de la comunidad. Juntos, podemos garantizar que nuestros parques infantiles y campos sigan siendo agradables para todos.

  ¡Les deseamos una temporada segura y activa!

  What’s happening?

  At a time when expenditures continue to rise beyond the district's control, federal COVID funds are set to expire, and the school district continues to deal with the aftermath of the LIPA/Nassau County Tax Certiorari Settlement with respect to the E.F. Barrett Power Plant, the $118,000 reduction in state aid proposed by Governor Hochul could have long-lasting results for our schools.

  What can you do?

  Contact Governor Hochul and our elected officials and help advocate for the full restoration of state aid for the Island Park UFSD.
