Eisenhower Park

On March 11, 2004, President George W. Bush visited Eisenhower Park for the groundbreaking of a new memorial for the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The two 30-foot (9 m), semi-transparent, stainless-steel towers, created to resemble those of the World Trade Center, stand amidst a fountain alongside the park's lake.

On the lawn are two pieces of steel several feet long from the WTC wreckage, surrounded by a colorful flower garden.

A long stone wall bears the names of the 344 Nassau County residents who died September 11, 2001.

[4][5][6][7] The Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre is an outdoor theater that hosts a full schedule of entertainment events during the summer, from concerts to movies.

Chapin was killed in a traffic collision en route to a free benefit concert in the park on July 16, 1981.

The Red Course, originally part of the Salisbury Golf Club and designed in 1914 by Devereux Emmet, formerly hosted the annual Commerce Bank Championship on the Champions Tour, last held in 2008.
