 Farmingville, NY 11738 is a hamlet in the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County on Long Island. The Brookhaven Town Hall is on Bald Hill in Farmingville, NY
Bald Hill is one of the highest points on Long Island, and is located where the glacier which formed Long Island stopped its advance. At the top of Bald Hill is Vietnam Memorial Park, which includes an monument painted red, white, and blue, which was dedicated on Nov. 11, 1991. The Bald Hill Cultural Center features an outdoor Brookhaven Amphitheater.
From 1965-1980, Bald Hill was the site of a Town-owned skiing area known as the Bald Hill Ski Bowl. By January 1967, an 800-foot T-bar lift had been installed to supplement three tow ropes ranging from 150 to 800 feet in length, and there were five ski trails on three slopes. A Swiss-chalet style lodge with a fireplace was also added. In 1975, The New York Times reported that the ski area now had over 5,000 visitors each week. The facility was described as covering 106 acres and featuring a 1,400-foot run for advanced skiers, a slope for “novices”, and a “bunny run” for beginners. The cost for an all day ticket was $2.25. All was not as well as it seemed, however. Newer, quieter snow machines were in the process of being installed to quell complaints about the noise from neighboring residents, and some members of the Town Board were complaining that the facility was costing too much. Operating costs were reported to be $500,000 annually, with revenue of between $100,000 to $200,000, depending on the amount of snowfall. The winter of 1976-1977, had a generous snowfall of over 62 inches in Suffolk County which gave the Ski Bowl its first profitable year, but the warmer winter of 1979-80 proved to be fatal. Only 6,500 skiers showed up that winter and only 11 inches of snow fell. Revenues fell to $18,000. The Town searched for a private operator to take over the facility to no avail. Bald Hill’s days as Long Island’s largest public skiing facility were at an end. The ski bowl site is now the Brookhaven Amphitheater. The ski lodge building remains as an art gallery.
