ALBANY -- New York may yet keep all its parks and historic sites open and fully staffed this difficult fiscal year including the Memorial Day holiday next week, according to senior officials in the Paterson administration.

New York lawmakers have voted to keep all state parks, historic sites and campgrounds open this year.

ALBANY, NY (06/03/2010)(readMedia)-- New York State Parks attracted more than 1.7 million visitors statewide during the past Memorial Day weekend, a 17 percent increase over the 2009 holiday weekend, State Parks Commissioner Carol Ash said.

"The strong holiday attendance is proof that New Yorkers love their state parks," Ash said. "I'm happy that the citizens across the state who have been expressing their support for state parks are getting out and enjoying them. All of our magnificent parks are open, and I encourage all New Yorkers to fully enjoy all that our state parks have to offer. From swimming to hiking to camping, our parks and historic sites offer something for everyone."
