The State Parks area–that tree-shaded green space that surrounds the reflecting pool and picnic grounds–always has terrific displays on camping, boating, wildlife and all things outdoor. Twin buildings at the front end house a tourism center and a parks gift shop. You can’t help but leave with renewed enthusiasm for hiking, tenting or dropping a line in a New York Park.
The kids can putt a few cost-free holes on the green or build a bluebird house as Mom and Dad take a break at a picnic table or park bench. In the corner fronting the International Pavilion you can enjoy the piney scent and graceful beauty of the Christmas Tree display. Don’t miss the wreath-making demos.
