New York State has always been known for its history of welcoming and
embracing people of all cultures and backgrounds. Even our park system
reflects these values. According to the Declaration of Policy of the
Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation, our parks should
foster and strengthen the sense of purpose, well-being and identity of
the citizens of this state. The names of these parks and green spaces
should embody the goals of uplifting, and unifying New Yorkers. For
these reasons the Donald J. Trump State Park should be renamed. Further-
more, by directing the Commissioner of the Office of Parks, Recreation &
Historic Preservation to improve the park for the enjoyment of the
public, this legislation will ensure that the park provides recreational
and educational opportunities for all New Yorkers to enjoy.
