Description

Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park is located on the west bank of the Connetquot River, in Long Island's Suffolk County, New York, USA nearby East Islip in the hamlet of Great River. The extensive landscape garden is in the nature of an estate arboretum, laid out, starting in 1887, for William Bayard Cutting (1850 - 1912) by Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park, and given to the people of Long Island by his widow and daughter "to provide an oasis of beauty and quiet for the pleasure, rest, and refreshment of those who delight in outdoor beauty; and to bring about a greater appreciation and understanding of the value and importance of informal planting." [1]

Hours Subject to change. Always verify.

The arboretum is open Tuesday through Sunday (plus Monday holidays from April - October) from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. DST, 10 A.M. - 4 P.M. EST
