Projects executed at Mother’s Beach have been:​

​

  • Inaugural Bite Back mosquito spraying and green fly traps to ensure the enjoyment of this great Village asset

  • Two major playground upgrades with new equipment and sand

  • New stylized automated entry gate to provide access by Residents year-round.

  • New post rail fencing

  • Industrial professional beach cleanup and sweeping to also include the Marina Playground

Annually there is a free public event for Village Residents called “Family Night at Mothers Beach” conducted by the BVPF.  The famous and historic Flo’s Food Truck is on hand for this entire event. The goal of this event is to bring together current and new families that are living here in the Village to introduce them to the BVPF and to each other. There are usually about 250 people attending this multi-generational gathering with many purchasing food from the Flo's truck.  The evening celebrates the BVPF mission and its collaboration with the Village of Bellport.
