Welcome! It is a pleasure to welcome you to our website and to introduce you to East Hills which is the largest in the Roslyn area with an estimated 7,000 residents and 2,300 homes. Through this introductory note, I am proud to tell you about the enviable lifestyle which our community enjoys. Let me begin by saying that the real credit for our success belongs to our residents who are progressive. dynamic, and friendly. We work together and we work closely with one another. We also have fun-filled events together. This year we had a Spectacular July 4th Fireworks Display on the Great Lawn at the Park at East Hills. We also had an exciting Labor Day Concert on September 1, 2008 with the exceptional Vista Hill Band, the wonderful sound of the Uptown Mix and show stopper Lisa Tucker with pyrotechnics. Perhaps the most prominent athletic event offered each year is the "Mayor's Softball Tournament." Our residents compete in over two days of softball games to finally determine the championship team. Other community-wide programs include tennis competitions, seniors programs with dog shows, trips, lecture programs, parties, card games and even art and photography exhibitions. There is always something new, something fun, and something exciting happening in East Hills.
Overall, our crowning glory is the acquisition and construction of our 50-plus acre park which is now the center of our community. All residents are given access to state-of-the-art facilities which features the largest leisure pool of any village on Long Island with a 12,000 sq. feet swimming pool, together with a separate pool for toddlers of 707 sq. ft; men's; ladies locker rooms; snack bar area and large lounge area surrounding the heated pool, a new Senior center with a separate card room, two age distinct children's playgrounds, six tennis courts with a new tennis facility, two multi-use fields, with one accommodating men's softball, and both little league, and soccer competition. Snuggled in the 15 acres of hills will also be a nature and jogging trail. There is also a fully renovated auditorium, a picnic area, and a general use field for lawn games. Then too, there is a bike, rollerblading and walking path; two basketball courts; and two "bark parks" for various sized canine members of the family.
With regard to the excellent services East Hills provides, the Village furnishes sanitation, road repair and replacement, security, administrative facilities, snow removal, zoning regulation, code enforcement, tree removal, and a Village justice court. East Hills is also committed to protecting the environment, going green, reducing emissions, and reducing the consumption of fuel. One program to achieve these desired goals is through the purchase of hybrid vehicles for the department of Public Safety.
In short, thanks in major part to my Board of Trustee's our Village has grown in stature and prestige and is known for its cutting edge innovations, whether it is our new park, our essential services, our internship program for high school students, or our one-of-a-kind Village Calendar sent to all our residents each year with convenient dates and information, beautification programs or the new local laws passed to protect the lifestyle of the residents.
An Award-Winning Community, East Hills is the recipient of one of the highest awards of any New York State Village from the AAA Automobile Club of New York, Inc. for the high degree of safety on our streets and in our neighborhood. The Village also enjoys one of Moody's highest ratings of any village its size for fiscal integrity.
East Hills is one of the finest and most exclusive communities to live in the United States with the highest quality of life and finest lifestyle. We have some of the best civic association leaders and many of the most devoted and dedicated community leaders.
Please stop-by our Village hall next time you are visiting our community. You'll receive the same warm and friendly welcome that the members of my administrative staff gives to all our guests and residents. We would be glad to answer your questions and share with you our enthusiasm of why East Hills has become popularly known as "The Championship Community!"
With my best wishes,
Mayor Michael R. Koblenz
