Located on the banks of the Hudson in the City of Yonkers, at River Mile 18, the Beczak Environmental Education Center is an adaptive reuse of the former Social Club for Habirshaw Cable & Wire.

This spacious interpretive center has several fish tanks, telescopes trained on the Palisades cliffs and rotating exhibits. Outside, the two-acre park features a welcoming riverfront lawn, an easily accessible tidal marsh and a beach used for river exploration and seining. Approximately ten feet off shore is an Estuary Monitoring System, the first computerized water and weather monitoring station in the Hudson that posts real-time data on Beczak's Website.

Here are some photos of past programs at Beczak Environmental Education Center.
