Named in honor of one of New Rochelle's famous residents, this park right next to the city's main library also contains a New Rochelle Walk of Fame that honors quite a few famous people who came from or lived in the city and the somewhat futuristic-looking Twilight of Dawn sculpture by R. M. Fischer. This small park is a relaxing place to walk through or hang out in, and is also the location of the New Rochelle Downtown Sizzle concert series, every Saturday 5-9 PM from late May to the end of September.
This sizable Catholic church is a historic neo-Gothic building, completed in 1897, with a tall spire that can be seen for some distance. Outside the front of the church is a statue of Jesus with his hands upraised to bless passersby. Inside the church are fine stained glass windows.
This private, Catholic college has a beautiful 45-acre (18 ha) suburban campus.
Formerly College of New Rochelle
The College of St. Angela, as it was known from its founding in 1904 until it became College of New Rochelle in 1910, was the first Catholic women's college established in New York State. Its campus is now a retirement community. The campus is pleasant and full of neo-Gothic buildings, some of them mock-castles with fanciful crenelations. It probably isn't worth a huge detour, but if it's not out of your way, it is a nice sight to see, especially in April and May when many trees and bushes are in bloom. Toward the southern end of the campus, there is a building with a very peaceful though relatively plain chapel, with very nice paintings of the Stations of the Cross.
This medium-sized church and the adjoining Parish House are quite pleasant neo-Gothic buildings, and they are very close to the train station, so it's quite worthwhile to walk past them if you are traveling on foot from the station. If you can get inside, you will have a chance to see beautiful stained glass windows in the very pretty sanctuary. The church is usually open only on Wednesdays, Sundays and church holidays.
