  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The county of Saratoga acting through its legislative body,
is  hereby  authorized  to discontinue the use of a parcel of reforested
land on Kinns Road in the town of Clifton Park, described in section two
of this act, and to enter into a contract to convey its interest in  the
real property to the town of Clifton Park, county of Saratoga upon terms
agreed  upon by the county of Saratoga and the town of Clifton Park, for
use by the town of Clifton Park  for  continued  park  and  recreational
purposes; provided, however, that the town of Clifton Park shall contin-
ue to provide access to such parklands and/or recreational facilities to
all residents of the county of Saratoga. Such lands shall be devoted for
park and recreational purposes in perpetuity, and the conveyance of such
lands from the county to the town shall be done without compensation and
shall not require any replacement of reforested lands.
  S  2.  The  real  property  authorized to be conveyed by the county of
Saratoga pursuant to section one of  this  act  shall  be  described  as
follows:
  All  that  tract  of  reforested lands originally acquired by Saratoga
County by deed dated June 20, 1938 and recorded in the  Saratoga  County
Clerk's  Office  in Book 401 of Deeds at Page 495, said lands also being
identified as Tax Parcel #265.-2-9.
  S 3. The land to be transferred pursuant to this act, and  all  struc-
tures  and  facilities situated on such land, shall be maintained, owned
and operated for park purposes by the town of Clifton Park.
  S 4. The use of such parkland and facilities shall be available to the
general public. Where the availability of such  facilities  is  limited,
the  use  of  such  facilities must be determined by an equitable method
which provides priority use to the general public based on a reservation
policy for free or for a nominal charge.
  S 5. This act shall take effect immediately.
