Smithtown's 2026 capital budget funds major upgrades to parks, pools, and town offices. Key projects at Burrwinkle Park and Hoyt Farm aim to boost recreation and safety.
Smithtown's **major construction projects** gain steam with the 2026 capital budget, targeting parks and public spaces amid Long Island's push for better infrastructure like Suffolk County's $256.9 million sewer expansions.
Burrwinkle Park gets a full overhaul with a new turf baseball field, modern fencing, dugouts, expanded pads, and ADA-accessible restrooms and walkways. At Cy Donnelly Park, a redesigned parking area cuts congestion and improves access. Hoyt Farm in Commack sees infrastructure fixes including lot reconstruction, repaving, a widened driveway, and safer pedestrian walkway near bocce courts.
The Smithtown Pool Complex replaces its aging kiddie pool with a modern water park featuring spray elements and expanded play zones. New pickleball and tennis courts rise at the Armory campus, plus modern sports lighting at the football field for safer evening use. Sweetbriar Nature Center starts exterior restorations to protect this historic spot for families and wildlife programs.
Town offices see interior renovations at the Town Clerk's, Comptroller's, and Assessor's offices for better workflow and service. Town Hall campus gets roof work, façade improvements, and protective treatments. These tie into Smithtown's updated Comprehensive Master Plan guiding development.
