=== Parks and recreation === The village's Recreation Department runs a variety of programs out of the Embassy Community Center, including art and dance classes, sports leagues, summer camp, and other activities open to the public. Programs for older adults are also well-funded and used. Additional sports leagues for baseball and soccer are run independently but use village facilities. There are a variety of village public parks, in order of size: * Juhring Nature Preserve, a 76-acre wooded park with trail entrances from the Ardsley Park (Juhring), Northfield, and Knoll neighborhoods in Dobbs Ferry. * Waterfront Park on the [[Hudson River]] shoreline with playground, soccer field, and open space. It serves as the site of the [[Dobbs Ferry Union Free School District]] graduation ceremony, summer concerts, and Independence Day fireworks. * Gould Park, a gift of wealthy resident [[Jay Gould]], in the center of the Village, with a public swimming pool, playground, basketball court, and multi-sport ballfields. * Memorial Park<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rivertowns.dailyvoice.com/lifestyle/dobbs-ferrys-memorial-park-pool-opens-saturday|title=Dobbs Ferry's Memorial Park Pool Opens Saturday|date=24 May 2013|work=The Rivertowns Daily Voice}}</ref> has a wading pool, baseball field, basketball court, and [[bocce]] court. In 2014, the American Legion Post 148, which leased space in the park, collapsed and was razed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rivertowns.dailyvoice.com/news/condemned-and-vacant-dobbs-ferry-legion-hall-collapses|title=Condemned And Vacant Dobbs Ferry Legion Hall Collapses|date=15 February 2014|work=The Rivertowns Daily Voice}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lohud.com/article/20140214/NEWS02/302140110/|title=Westchester County, New York - The Journal News - lohud.com - lohud.com|work=The Journal News - lohud.com}}</ref> * Chauncey Park along the [[Saw Mill River]] Two linear parks used for [[active transportation]] and recreation traverse Dobbs Ferry as well. The [[Old Croton Aqueduct Trailway]], a linear [[New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation|State Park]], runs north-south through the village on its western side. The [[South County Trailway]], a linear [[Westchester County, New York|Westchester County]] park also runs north-south through the village, but on its eastern side along the bank of the [[Saw Mill River]]. There are also segments of trails unconnected to each other, including the Gateway Trail near Estherwood Avenue and Spoiler's Run<ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/382825933/spoilers-run-agreement {{Dead link|date=February 2022}}</ref> near Belden Avenue.
