List of New York state parks

New York's Niagara Falls State Park is the oldest state park in the United States.[1]

This is a list of state parks in the U.S. state of New York. Also listed are state golf courses, seasonal hunting areas, and former state parks.

In New York, state parks are managed by the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), with the exception of the Adirondack and Catskill Parks which are managed by the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

Forest preserve

The largest parks in New York are the Adirondack Park, at six million acres (24,000 km2; 9,400 sq mi); and the Catskill Park, at 700,000 acres (2,800 km2; 1,100 sq mi). Together they comprise the New York Forest Preserve, properties that must be kept "Forever Wild" according to Article 14 of the New York Constitution. Both parks are managed by DEC; the Adirondack Park is managed by the Adirondack Park Agency, as well.

New York state parks

OPRHP manages lands designated as state parks in New York,[2] with the aims of providing public space for outdoor recreation while conserving natural and cultural resources.[3] The agency offers the "Empire Passport", which provides unlimited day use vehicle entry to most of New York's state parks and recreational facilities.[4] As of 2017, New York has 215 state parks and historic sites encompassing 350,000 acres. The agency's portfolio also includes 28 golf courses, 35 swimming pools, 67 beaches, and 18 museums and nature centers.[5]

The following sortable tables list current and former New York state parks, respectively, all 'owned' or managed by the OPRHP, as of 2015. Some OPRHP-'owned' parks are managed primarily or in part by other agencies, through lease or partnership agreements.[2] The second table lists three former New York state parks that have been transferred to other entities.
