At the corner of Jericho Turnpike and Old Westbury Road still stands the house that became known to locals as “The Carle Place.” In 1835, Silas Carle bought 220 acres of farmland in Carle Place and had a country house built there for himself and his wife. The house, the person, and the property thus provide a concrete point of reference for local history.
Local History and Architecture
Saint Mary's Chapel, also called Saint Mary's Episcopal Church, offers another historical perspective. It is located on Rushmore Avenue between Roslyn Avenue and Glen Cove Avenue and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2005. Its architectural significance provides a different emphasis from the story of Silas Carle and his country house. The two historic sites can also be distinguished by their locations: the house is identified by a street corner, while the chapel is on a stretch of Rushmore Avenue between two other avenues. If you are interested in local history or architecture, the house and chapel offer different points of interest.
Parks and Baseball
Charles Fuschillo Park is at the intersection of Carle Road and Broadmoor Lane. The Eighth & Asbury Little League Fields are located on 8th Avenue and Asbury Avenue in Carle Place. Carle Place Veterans Memorial Park is also a property in Carle Place identified as a park. The names distinguish these places: Charles Fuschillo Park and Veterans Memorial Park have park names, while Eighth & Asbury is explicitly identified as Little League Fields. A 2013 recreation guide mentions baseball at both Charles Fuschillo Park and the Eighth & Asbury Little League Fields.
The baseball information dates from 2013 and is not a current game schedule. If you would like to include baseball in your stay, check in advance on current use and whether a visit is possible.
