NEW ROCHELLE, NY — The City of New Rochelle Department of Parks & Recreation will not open Lincoln Poo to the public for the 2021 season, according to a statement issued Friday.

“We apologize for this closure,” said a City spokesperson. “Please know the Department of Parks & Recreation made every attempt to safely provide this service throughout this significant construction at the adjacent property.”
