A public marina, boat launch, and fishing pier are also located there.
Cummings Park is administered by the City of Stamford which sells monthly passes for parking access. It is named after Homer Stille Cummings, a former mayor of Stamford who was active in Democratic politics and later worked for Franklin Delano Roosevelt as U.S. Attorney General. He lived in town for most of his life and often went to the shoreline there for walking.

Cove Island Park is a beach in The Cove section of Stamford, Connecticut, located on Long Island Sound. It is a popular spot for residents of Stamford to go rollerblading, biking and walking, as well as enjoy barbecues and ride the tram around the island.
Since 2000 the park has been the headquarters of SoundWaters, a nonprofit environmental education organization that offers a free small aquarium, music, canoe trips, school trips and family activities on land and aboard an 80-foot schooner.
Outside the entrance of the park, there is a rink known as the Terry Conners Ice Rink, where children usually skate in the winter, take skating lessons, or even reserve the rink for special occasions, such as birthdays. A bit behind the rink, there is also a nature walk, but it has long been out of commission, with no attempts to repair it.
The movie Reservation Road was filmed at the park, including the opening scene of an outdoor concert and a climactic scene near the end. Weed Avenue, just north of the park, was used in two scenes where a character jogs.

Castle Gould
Muttontown NY

Hotels Close to Castle Gould
Castle Gould and Hempstead House are located on what is now called Sands Point Preserve. The estate was created by Howard Gould, the son of financier and railroad tycoon Jay Gould, who purchased the land in 1900 and 1901. Most of the out-buildings, including the limestone stable and servants quarters now called Castle Gould, were completed by 1904. The design of Castle Gould was based on Kilkenny Castle in Ireland.
The main residence, called Hempstead House, designed in the style of a Tudor manor house, was completed in 1912. The building features an exterior of granite and Indiana limestone, the latter stone being used for hte decorative elements. The massive structure is 225 feet long, 135 feet wide, has 3 floors, 40 rooms, and an 80 foor tower. It was considered one of the most opulent homes on Long Island's Gold Coast.
Howard Gould sold the estate to Daniel Guggenheim in 1917. Daniel gave 90 acres of the estate to his son Harry F. Guggenheim who built his home in the style of a Normandy manor house.
In 1942, Castle Gould, Hempstead House and 162 acres were donated to The Institute of Aeronautical Sciences. The instute leased, then sold the property to the United States Navy. The navy used the property for the design and testing of electronic systems. In 1967 the Navy moved their operations and the property was declared government surplus. In 1971, Nassau County acquired 127 acres for public recreational use. Also in 1971, Harry Guggenheim died and in accordance with his will, most of his 90 acre estate was deeded to Nassau County for use as a museum site.
The above information was supplied by the Nassau County Department of Recreation & Parks.
Also I received E-Mail that said:
Castle Gould (the Kilkenny Castle reproduction) was the stables, and Hempstead house was the main house. Castle Gould was intended to be the main house, but when Mr. Gould's wife decided she didn't like it, he proceeded to build Hempstead House. Unfortunately, they were separated before it's completion in 1912.

The ten original families were shortly joined by another 26.
