New York State Parks is dedicated to making sure that visitors of all abilities can enjoy our parks and historic sites. In 2023, a record 84.1 million visitors came to our properties, so it is more vital than ever to ensure that all who visit have a safe and fun experience!  

“Every individual has a different set of abilities, a different set of strengths, and a wealth of experience and wisdom that comes with them. 

As in ecological communities, our social communities and lives are enriched by having a diverse array of problem solvers, friends, and loved ones. 

We at Rockefeller [State Park] are excited to welcome people who have traditionally been excluded from outdoor spaces, knowing that the more perspectives and voices are on our public land, the closer we are to cultivating sustainable relationships to our natural world and to one another.” 

-Devyani Mishra, Conservation Steward at Rockefeller State Park Preserve
