Marking Marydell Property as a State Park is a Victory for the Entire Community

CLARKSTOWN, NY– The Marydell property in Clarkstown was officially acquired by the State on Friday and will become part of the NYS Parks system.  Senator David Carlucci (D-Rockland/Westchester), was a strong advocate for the State to secure approximately $2.5 million of a $3.1 million total sale, acquiring the Marydell property in Clarkstown.    

"Having the State acquire the Marydell property is an exciting public-private partnership to expand Hook Mountain State Park. Our collaborative efforts will result in linking the Nyack Beach State Park to the Long Path."      

$2.1 million of the State funding is coming from the Environmental Preservation Fund with $450,000 coming from the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council. $300,000 came from the Town of Clarkstown, $100,000 from the Village of Upper Nyack, $100,000 came from the Durst Organization and $50,000 came from the Open Space Institute.
