A walk at the Untermyer Park in Yonkers, New York will make for a good evening. Previously infamous as the spot where serial killer Son of Sam did satanic rituals, the park has now been beautified to a vast extent and yet manages to retain its natural beauty. The Greek columns and pillars along the park look brilliant and there are also some light hiking trails within the park. The park is said to be haunted by some, but it might just be a deer roaming around the trees.
A local favorite since 1960, the E.J. Murray Memorial Skating Center offers state of the art facilities for some skating fun.

A good place to unwind, drop by and lose yourself to the excitement that is experienced at this venue.
