About Kensico Dam Plaza

Completed in 1917, this historic dam features a 9-11 memorial, “The Rising,” an open structure that can be approached from all directions and allows people of all ages and abilities to not only view it, but to move through it.
 

The park also offers scenic areas for picnicking, in-line skating, walking and nature study and hosts a wide variety events from concerts to cultural heritage celebrations, antique shows, fitness classes and more.
 

The dam is 307 feet high and 1,843 feet long, and forms the Kensico reservoir.
