oin Parks & Trails New York – and thousands of volunteers across the state – on Saturday, May 4 in celebrating and enhancing New York’s parks, historic sites, greenway trails and other public lands.

I Love My Park Day--the largest single-day volunteer event in NYS--presents a perfect opportunity to clean up our favorite parks and shorelines, plant trees and gardens, restore trails and wildlife habitat, remove invasive species, and work on various site improvement projects--all which help to prepare our iconic state park system and public lands for the start of the season.

We hope you'll join us to celebrate NY State Park's Centennial Celebration with our biggest I Love My Park Day event yet!
