The Common Ground at Rotary Park in Sayville New York

A lovely park located between Gillette and Candee Avenues in Sayville, NY 11782

In response to COVID-19 related concerns and to prioritize the health and safety of all of you, we have canceled Wednesdays in the Park, Family Fridays, Monday Night at the Movies and Labyrinth Walks for this year.

Yoga in the Park and Gardening are available again. Visit our Calendar for any updates. Please feel free to visit the park where you can also walk the labyrinth on your own.

We look forward to welcoming our community back to The Common Ground next year.

About Us

The tragic events of September 11, 2001 inspired a group of community members to create a reflective garden dedicated to the memory of those who were lost. Now with the graceful gardens, walkways of personalized stones, memorial benches, The Peace Labyrinth and The Pamela Raymond Performance Pavilion, it has become greater than the dream.

This is a place of peace, joy and inspiration for everyone, a place where life is celebrated and people are encouraged to meet their neighbors to connect as a community. This park was built through volunteer efforts, support from the Town of Islip, grants from Suffolk County, and generous donations from community members.

The Common Ground has been created by the Community for the Community.
