Lyon Park is a local neighborhood park in Port Chester, NY. It has many features that offer opportunities for sketching: a 9/11 Memorial, the Bush Lyons Farmstead historical farmhouse and outbuildings, a Firefighters Memorial, Veteran’s Memorial Walk, Vietnam War Memorial, and a garden, bandstand, and beautiful old trees.
