Local agencies bid to operate parks

By Chris Jamele

Buffalo, NY – Officials with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation are expressing a willingness to allow local agencies to operate parks that have been threatened with closure.

Locally, plans have already been approved for Oak Orchard Marine Park in Orleans County.

The News reports that the state agency claims it is willing to field plans for local operators to maintain Woodlawn Beach, Knox Farm and Joseph Davis State Park.
