Stannards Brook Park is a unique natural oasis in Port Washington.   The Port Washington Parks Conservancy (PWPC) has worked for over five years with Nassau County, neighbors, and friends to plan this one million dollar rehabilitation and restoration project.  Funding for the project was secured through the Nassau County Environmental Bond Act, the New York State Environmental Protection Fund, and a Town of North Hempstead grant.
