U.S. Oval Park

About the Park

US Oval Park is located within the United States Oval Historic District, a site listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 53-acre site is part of the larger Plattsburgh City Multiple Resource Area. The 28 buildings included in the Historic District were all constructed between 1893 and 1934 as components of the US Army's Plattsburgh Barracks. The current US Oval Park was formerly utilized as the Army's athletic fields and parade grounds. The Park celebrates its rich history by offering several sporting fields and maintaining historic structures, such as the gazebo.

Additional information about this historic site can be found online in the National Archives Catalog.

First Round Design and Bid

April 22, 2023 4:00 AM - June 15, 2024 4:00 AM

First Round of Projects for US Oval Park Park:

  1. A new public restroom facility
  2. Design of 6’ wide walking path around the park’s perimeter
  3. At the South end of the park, the Veterans Park will be upgraded thanks to a $125,000 contribution facilitated by Assemblyman Billy Jones.

How Projects were Determined:

After the public comment period for the Parks Master Plan was over, City staff determined which projects would be prioritized for each park based on:

  1. The state of the current park infrastructure
  2. Community desire
  3. Available funding

Funding allocations to individual parks varied based on the above considerations but every effort was made to ensure an equitable distribution of funding across all five parks. This list encompasses only the first round of improvements the City plans to make to our parks and several dozen additional projects are included in the Parks Master Plan. 

The Community Development and Planning staff are compiling a list of potential grant funding sources to help fund the remaining Parks Renewal projects. All of the required design work for the park improvements will be completed in 2023 with an anticipated construction date starting in 2024. Future improvements are expected to be funded through borrowing, general fund spending, and grants.
