HISTORY

Originally part of the Cortlandt Manor land grant, The Ward Pound Ridge Reservation began as farmland in the early 1700s. Today, it is a 4,400 acres county park located in the towns of Pound Ridge and Lewisboro in Westchester County, New York. It is the largest park in the county and offers diverse terrain, extensive hiking trails, nature programs, and recreational facilities. In 1925, Westchester County acquired over 4,000 acres to form Pound Ridge Reservation. It was renamed in 1938 to honor William L. Ward, the county park supervisor and key parks advocate.
