Flint/Lorenzen Project

Over the last year we have collaborated with the Village of Larchmont, Town of Mamaroneck and Westchester County to help plan and implement major renovations at Flint Park and Lorenzen Park, two precious local resources used by the entire Larchmont-Mamaroneck community. Construction at Flint Park has already begun.


What will you see at Flint?

  1. •The first multi-purpose turf field in the community

  2. •Three natural-grass fields with improved drainage and grading

  3. •One new large baseball field and one improved baseball/softball diamond

  4. •More trees, shrubs and natural landscaping

  5. •Front six tennis courts resurfaced

  6. •Improved family picnic areas

  7. •More pedestrian and bicycle paths

  8. •Access to the water and wetlands with a new nature boardwalk


What is the plan for Lorenzen?

  1. •Two natural-grass baseball fields back to back

  2. •Improved grading, drainage and irrigation

  3. •New concession stand with indoor washroom facilities

  4. •Improved player benches, fencing, backstops, batting cages and spectator seating throughout complex

  5. •Refurbished parking lot and walkways


Why this project is a win-win for everyone:

  1. •It’s happening now. With a field shortage for years, this is the first project in Larchmont-Mamaroneck to get underway. And it’s important because kids grow up so quickly, and we want them to benefit from the improvements.

  2. •It’s your home field. Many community sports programs take place in Flint Park. And soon Lorenzen will be a Little League showcase!

  3. •It helps our schools. Mamaroneck High and Hommocks Middle School athletic programs — including field hockey, soccer, lacrosse and baseball — regularly use Flint Park because the district doesn’t have nearly enough fields of its own.

  4. •Something for everyone. Our interest is more and better fields, but not at the expense of  other enjoyments. The Flint-Lorenzen Project includes wonderful family and environmental enhancements, creating better parks for everyone.

We’ve run over 90 yards!

Now help us over the goal line.
