Village Playgrounds To Re-Open Following Governor Cuomo's Announcement
Following this announcement allowing localities to open playgrounds at their discretion while following state guidance, the Village of Mamaroneck’s Parks and Recreation Department is actively working on and developing a plan to re-open the Village’s playgrounds. “Making sure we have safety protocols in place before we open any Village playground is our top priority,” remarked Recreation Supervisor Jason Pinto. Residents should stay tuned to the Village’s Parks & Recreation webpage as well as the Village’s Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) webpage for any announcements.
Village Prepares for 2020 Mosquito Season
With the warmer weather approaching, the Village of Mamaroneck is actively monitoring for mosquito activity as part of our Village’s mosquito control program. Since last year, the Village has been using Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis (Bti), a naturally occurring bacterium found in soils, in order to treat the Village’s catch basins and the marshes in the Shore Acres neighborhood*. Bti is an effective tool that reduces the mosquito population while minimizing the amount of pesticide materials being sprayed or “fogged” into the air. For more information to learn (1) What the Village is doing, (2) What residents can do, and what to do (3) If you must spray pesticides, click here.
Please note that Village Hall at the Regatta (123 Mamaroneck Avenue) is CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. If you need to schedule an appointment with someone at Village Hall, please call the corresponding department. Click here for more information.

Village's 2020 Census Response Rate Is Within 4.3% Points
of Breaking 2010's Response Rate!
Our Village's 2020 Census Response Rate is at 66.1%! We are 4.3% points away from breaking our old 2010 Census Response Rate of 70.4%! The Village needs your help to get the word out about Census 2020! You can inspire others. Tell your neighbors that you completed the census, and that they should respond now, too! Visit 2020census.gov/en/how-to-help.html to find ways to help spread the word!
Our thanks to Westchester Joint Water Works (WJWW) for their help in getting the word out about Census 2020! WJWW will include this flyer (in both English AND Spanish) in the bills residents will receive in mid-June.
Census takers will begin visiting households who have not responded on August 11th and the Village hopes to hit (or even better exceed) 70.4% by then. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s safer for the Census takers if they have fewer doors to knock on. So please help us help them by completing the 2020 Census online, by phone or by mail. To complete the Census Questionnaire online, please visit My2020Census.gov.
Need help completing your Census Questionnaire? Our friends and partners at the Community Resource Center are offering Over the Phone Census Assistance in ENGLISH and in SPANISH!
You can complete the 2020 Census online, by phone or by mail.
