Breezy Point was picked for the Mary Sherlach park because of her love of water and her New York ties: Both Mary Sherlach and her husband went to SUNY-Cortland. A drawing of the university’s football helmet is etched on the side of the jungle gym, near a golden bell which kids are invited to ring in her honor.
