Take a leisurely stroll through the emerald gem at the heart of the hamlet, Kirkside Park whose well landscaped 11 acre lawns stretches behind the splendid Gould Church. Helen Gould Shepard, the daughter of railroad tycoon and Roxbury's native son Jay Gould made this charming village as her summer home and lavished on the Kirkside Park. Hugged by immense wilderness and stupendous mountains, the park has Adirondack-style bridges, gravel paths and the East Branch of the Delaware meandering through its meadows. It is truly an ideal spot to fish, picnic, ponder or throw a Frisbee.
