Swimming at state park facilities across New York has been extended through September 18th.
“This administration has make an unprecedented investment in our state park system, bringing new facilities, new energy and – as these numbers show – increased attendance during the summer season,” Governor Cuomo said. “We’re proud to keep this momentum going with the extension of the swimming season and I encourage all New Yorkers to visit a local state park, historic site or campground, use these great new facilities and experience for themselves the unparalleled natural beauty in every corner of this state.”
State Park attendance has grown exponentially over the last five years, reflecting Governor Cuomo’s strong efforts to improve and promote New York State Parks as a part of his NY Parks 2020 program to leverage $900 million in private and public funding for State Parks from 2011 to 2020.
