List of New York state parks
This is a list of state parks in the U.S. state of New York. Also listed are state golf courses, seasonal hunting areas, and former state parks.
State parks in New York are managed by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYS OPRHP), with the exception of Adirondack Park and Catskill Park, which are managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
The two largest parks in New York State are the Adirondack Park at six million acres (24,000 km2; 9,400 sq mi) and the Catskill Park at 700,000 acres (2,800 km2; 1,100 sq mi). Both are managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation; the Adirondack Park is also managed by the Adirondack Park Agency. Together, they comprise the New York Forest Preserve, properties that must be kept "forever wild" by Article 14 of the Constitution of the State of New York.
The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYS OPRHP) manages lands designated as state parks in New York to provide public space for outdoor recreation while conserving natural and cultural resources. As of 2017[update] NYS OPRHP offered the "Empire Passport" which provides unlimited day use vehicle entry to most of New York's state parks and recreational facilities.
