Great Hunger Memorial

Poignant memorial momument representing the Irish potato famine. Beautiful stone and metal monument surrounded by trees and next to a walking and hiking trail and lake. Only downside is only ingress/egress by car is on the northbound side of Saw Mill Pkwy.

Walked to the memorial with my mom and younger brother from Dobbs Ferry Metro North station. Walking to the park made gave it folky kind of vibe. The park seems to come out of nowhere while being surrounded by highways. There's a beautiful man made waterfall coming into the park and a very charming lake created by the dam. Great seating with great views, educational, and it has a real natural feel despite its surroundings.

Stopped to Ingress on way to work, alone in parking lot, lovely day. Great place to base walk on South County Trail.

Put me on your own then great place for the kids and also peaceful enough if you just want to get away for a minute

A little out of the way. Not well advertised or sign posted. Worth a visit especially if you are of Irish heritage. Came across this place by accident when I was on the bike trail.
