Office of the Town Historian, Greece New York

Who was....Basil A. Marella? As we move toward the bicentennial anniversary celebrating the two hundred year birthday of the Town of Greece (1822-2022), we would like to introduce to you some of the people that played a role in shaping the history and development of our town; the impact of which is still felt and enjoyed by residents today. Town of Greece Parks and Recreation Commissioner Basil A. Marella (1917-1994). served as the Town of Greece Parks and Recreation Commissioner for thirty two years. The formerly named English Road park was renamed Basil A. Marella Park in 1995 in his honor. Under his stewardship, he led the development and building of twelve Greece town parks from 1960-1992. Of special pride was the one hundred and two acre park on English Road that now bears his name.
