More Green for State Parks


People were out enjoying the sunshine at Fayetteville's Green Lakes State park today, and there could be more to enjoy at all New York State Parks. Governor Patterson said this year's state budget will include a record $95 million for state parks.


Many Central New Yorkers have their own ideas of how they would liked to see the money used at Green Lakes. From using the money to keep the pathways clean to putting more fish in the lake it seemed that there was no consensus among those who visited the park today.


Green Lakes is part of the Central region of State Parks, but Regional Coordinator Jean Egenhofer was unavailable to comment on what plans for the money might already be in the works. Central New York will also benefit from money that will be designated to improving the State Fairgrounds.
