Powers Grove was a park on the north end of Green Island, on the west side of the Hudson River roughly opposite from 101st to 103rd Street in the Village of Lansingburgh. Formed in 1864, it became an amusement park around 1908 named Mohawk Pines and Zoo.

The old Powers farmhouse, a two-story frame clapboard structure, was near the northeasterly end of Green Island, south of the D&H bridge, spanning the Mohawk River. (Samuel N. Hutchinson’s “History of Green Island,” Pg. 8.) The house was nearly opposite the present 102nd street, Lansingburgh. What later became a summer amusement place, known as Mohawk Pines and later Ford Park, was known years before as Powers’ Grove, due to its proximity to the Powers’ farm premises.
