Teal Park is a public greenspace is Horseheads, New York. The land for the park was donated to the town in 1807. In 1910, political cartoonist Eugene Zimmerman, a resident of the town, designed the bandstand still standing today, known as the Zim bandstand.[2]
It is adjacent to Eugene's home, The Zimmerman House, and is contained within the Horseheads 1855 Extension Historic District.
The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[2]
