Players are invited to join an adult softball game which has been played for decades.

We finish no later than noon, which is when our field permit expires. Games are friendly but competitive. Season runs from Sunday, April 20 through October. Interested players should contact Jeff Rejan at jrejan@optonline.net or show up at the field.

McCarthyism and the Scarsdale Schools - A Deep Dive into the Battle of the Books (Mon. 21 Apr, 2025 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm)
Join local history librarian Dan Glauber for this lecture on Monday April 21at 7:30 pm on the Battle of the Books. From 1949 to 1954, a group of residents calling themselves the Committee of 10, and later the Citizens Committee, waged a battle against what they saw as the infiltration of Scarsdale schools by Communists and fellow travelers. They objected to books, speakers, presenters, and even Scarsdale residents who they accused of having Communist connections. Scarsdale's "Battle of the Books," as it became known in the national news, was one of many examples of school districts that came under fire during the McCarthy era. Scarsdale's experience was notable as the only example where the McCarthyites were defeated. Dive deep on the issues and the people involved.

Free Food Scrap Compost (Sat. 26 Apr, 2025 8:00 am - 3:00 pm)
As part of its Food Scrap Recycling program, Scarsdale is giving away FREE high quality compost to Scarsdale residents on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the Recycling Center, 110 Secor Road, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM – it’s first come, first served, so bring a pail, bucket, or other receptacle, and take home some compost! Prior events have been well attended, so plan to be there early.
The food scrap compost can be used in one’s vegetable garden, flower beds, or to enrich turf in place of chemical fertilizers.
Residents are strongly encouraged to join the Scarsdale Food Scrap Recycling Program – it’s easy and results in a meaningful reduction to the waste stream, which results in less trash incineration. On April 26, volunteers will be available to answer questions, help you get started, and food scrap recycling starter kits and rolls of compostable bags will be available for purchase.
The high-quality food scrap compost being given away in celebration of Earth Week is provided pursuant to the successful Village of Scarsdale residential Food Scrap Recycling program. Over 3.5 million pounds of food scraps have been recycled since the beginning of the program in January 2017!
For any questions about the April 26th compost giveaway, food scrap recycling or to sign up for the food scrap recycling program, please email composting@scarsdale.gov.
