Please note:

• Because the Coyne Park Range is located indoors, the weather generally has no effect on the range’s operating schedule. However, severe weather conditions (that may make driving hazardous, for example) could modify that schedule. Therefore, when adverse weather conditions exist or are anticipated please call the range to find out if the schedule has been modified. Information on Parks Department program cancellations also can be obtained by calling the Parks Department hot line at 914-377-6454. Range closure information also is provided to WFAS radio, which broadcasts on 1230 AM and 103.9 FM.

• Parking in our lot becomes difficult, if not impossible, during the ‘summer season’ when we are sharing the parking lot with residents using basketball courts and baseball fields in the immediate area. However, parking on side streets is virtually always available so please do not be dissuaded if, on these occasions, you do not get parking in our lot.
  
  Also, when there are activities at the senior center adjoining our lot there is sometimes a spillover of cars from their parking lot into ours, giving the false impression that we are so busy that you will have a long wait for a port (we have learned that some people have turned away as a result). It is rare that we cannot accommodate you without a need for you to wait and even in such cases the waiting period is reasonably short. And, while you are waiting you can sit and relax, read a magazine, enjoy a cold beverage from the vending machine, or chat with other shooters.
