Located off Croton Avenue, across from the Old Croton Egg Farm, the Cortlandt Community Recreation  Area opened in the Fall of 2005 and offers residents a variety of recreational activities. Dedicated of the Town Board on November 5, 2005, the park consists of two playgrounds; the first for children ages 2 to 5 and the other, with swings, for older children, ages 5 to 12.  This recreational facility also offers fun for older town residents with a new basketball court, consisting of six baskets, and a tennis court.  An ample amount of parking is available on the site.

In 2023, the Town of Cortlandt dedicated the Croton Avenue Community Recreation Area to honor Former Supervisor Charles G. DiGiacomo. He served as Councilman and later elected as Supervisor for five terms, from 1980-1989. Charlie DiGiacomo will be remembered for his devoted public service to the residents of the Town of Cortlandt.
