Downing Park, Public park in Newburgh, United States
The 35-acre Downing Park features a central pond with fountain, walking paths, and multiple recreational areas across eastern and western sections divided by Carpenter Avenue.
Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux designed the park in 1897, naming it after Andrew Jackson Downing, a Newburgh native who died in an 1852 Hudson River accident.
The park hosts regular community events including the Newburgh Farmers' Market, Tuskegee Airmen's Family Day celebrations, and annual Easter egg hunts for local residents.
Downing Park is situated between Robinson Avenue, South Street, Dubois Street, and Third Street, with multiple entry points and parking areas for visitors.
The park contains New York's only dedicated ornamental daylily garden, maintained by the Iris and Daylily Society with specialized flower collections.
