Online registration is now available for “I Love My Park Day” to be held on May 3, 2014 at Valley Stream State Park. This event is part of New York State's sustained commitment to stewardship of our magnificent state lands and parks. "I Love My Park Day" is also a day to increase recreational and tourism opportunities throughout New York. Last year over 4,000 volunteers from across the state participated in a successful “I Love My Park Day” event. The first 100 volunteers to pre-register will enjoy a free BBQ lunch. Flyer is attached.
