Flooding history Several major floods have occurred in the area. An earth levee along the Chenango River and Phelps Creek and the channel excavation of Phelps Creek in 1943 by the US Army Corps of Engineers helped reduce the devastation that was brought on by earlier floods of the Susquehanna River basin. These floods included ones in 1810, 1865, 1889, 1894, 1935, 1936, and, most recently, 2006. In 1949, the US Army Corps of Engineers excavated a 1,300 foot pilot channel and removed foundation pilings along the Chenango River. Minor floods have occurred since then about once every 10 years, although the average length between floods is 20 years for the Chenango River in general.

Recreation There are a few recreational facilities in the Village. The Jeanne and John D. Wilfley Community Park is a reclaimed flood plain adjacent to the Chenango River. It was named, at first, the Port Dickinson Community Park. However, in 2000, with the news of Mayor Wilfley retiring, the Village renamed the park to remember him in our everyday lives. The Park is accessible from Chenango Street, which is above the filled-in Chenango Canal. I-88 passes over the park. There is a .75-mile walking trail along the perimeter of the park. The Park also has an extension at the intersection of Chenango Street and Beacon Ave. The King Ave park is not officially recognized, as is the same with Wayne Ave Field, by the Village, but the residents of the Village treat them with the same due respect as is necessary for all parks.
