New York State is known around the world for 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.
