A great deal of time and effort has been devoted to the removal of invasive species in natural areas of Post Farm Park. Each year species such as Garlic Mustard, Honeysuckle, Norway Maple, and Japanese Knotwood are removed by Village Staff.

The Village tennis courts are a popular site for local recreation, including summer tennis lessons.
