==Features== Elmsford's road system connects to numerous major highways and thoroughfares, including [[Interstate 287]], the [[Saw Mill River Parkway]], the [[Sprain Brook Parkway]] and [[New York State Route 9A|Route 9A]]; the [[North County Trailway]] and [[South County Trailway]] bicycle paths terminate there. Convenient to [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]], [[Yonkers, New York|Yonkers]], [[New York City]], and [[Connecticut]], the village is a significant center of commercial traffic and distribution. It is home to the large Local 456 of the [[Teamsters]] union. The village's public schools are run by the Elmsford Board of Education and include Dixson Primary, Alice E. Grady Elementary and Alexander Hamilton Junior/Senior High School. The village is also home to the private [[Roman Catholic]] elementary school Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which is affiliated with the Catholic parish of the same name and which was established in 1929. Dedicated in 1996, Carol Nichols Park has facilities for softball, basketball, tennis as well as a gated "kiddie park" and Sprinkler Park (attendant) for small children. The town has had an animal shelter since the 1930s. In 1995 the shelter, Central Westchester Humane Society, moved to a location on Warehouse Lane South. The shelter was replaced by Pets Alive Westchester, and later Paws Crossed Animal Rescue, the current owner. The Westchester Broadway Theater was a professional [[dinner theater]] venue established in Elmsford in 1974.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kramer |first=Peter D. |date=April 20, 2017 |title=Lower Hudson Valley professional theaters mark major milestones |url=https://www.lohud.com/story/entertainment/theater/2017/04/20/professional-theaters-milestones-westchester-rockland/100562756/ |work=[[Lohud.com]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170421052136/http://www.lohud.com/story/entertainment/theater/2017/04/20/professional-theaters-milestones-westchester-rockland/100562756/?from=global&sessionKey=&autologin= |archive-date=April 21, 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref> The theater closed permanently in October 2020 due to [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the performing arts|financial hardships]] caused by the ongoing [[COVID-19 pandemic in New York (state)|COVID-19 Pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-10-27|title=COVID-19: Westchester Broadway Theatre Closes After Nearly Half-Century Run|url=https://dailyvoice.com/new-york/whiteplains/business/covid-19-westchester-broadway-theatre-closes-after-nearly-half-century-run/796748/|access-date=2021-04-11|website=White Plains Daily Voice|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Bahr|first=Sarah|date=2020-11-23|title=Dinner Is No Longer Served: Theater That Built Careers Is Gone|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/23/theater/westchester-broadway-theatre-closed.html|access-date=2021-04-11|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
