For over seven decades Arrow Park has been a place of meeting
and celebration for all people that have "discovered" this quiet space
in the foothills of the Catskills. Originally a place to escape from the
city for the Schieffelin family during the early 1900s, Arrow Park
(originally AROW Farm) grew from a small ethnic community to become a
meeting place for people (literally thousands) of varied ethnic,
cultural and political backgrounds.
What all these people had in common
was an appreciaion of nature, a sense of the dignity in daily life and
an understanding that here was a place to enjoy both. The mainstay of
Arrow Park is found in that practicality and simplicity.
Arrow Park has always been a social and community-based meeting center. We have been told it is one of the best kept secrets of
the Hudson Valley Region, a simple and rare venue in an age of
ultra-modern and contemporary alternatives. We continue to serve an increasingly wide and varied group of
organizations, clubs, organizations, and businesses. Whether planning a
day-long meeting or corporate retreat, a special exhibition, an larger
outdoor event or a memorable family occasion β we invite you to contact our staff for more information.
2023 marked the
75th JUBILEE OF ARROW PARK
We thank and honor all families who contributed and shared in the accomplishment of this important 75th Celebration of Arrow Park.
The history of Arrow Park has been a reflection of many generations starting from the turn-of-the-last-century immigrants from eastern Europe. Originally a communal and social gathering place, they have strived to maintain and expand on the premises of their forebears. The foundation and reason for all these decades has been simple...
βTo preserve, protect and improve all the

Inc. shareholders and their families and friends to enjoy this beauty.β
