*UPDATED 2/2/2024














We are so excited to finally be moving forward with this long overdue Park improvement. We thank you for your patience and understanding while the Town works to renovate, rehabilitate, modernize and ultimately improve Byron Lake Park. This will be an attraction and asset for all Town of Islip residents to enjoy for many years to come.

At a glance: Work is currently underway to renovate the Byron Lake Park pool, concession area, septic system, as well as improve accessibility and surrounding beautification. Byron Lake itself is also being rehabilitated.

Residents are encouraged to use this page as a resource through the duration of the project, and to check back periodically for additional news and updates.
