Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the completion of a $47 million multi-year project at Hempstead Lake State Park on Long Island. The final work included two miles of new Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant stone dust and bridle trails, an observation deck, improvements to the park's Northern Ponds to mitigate flood risk and reduce pollution, and rehabilitation of the 150-year-old Hempstead Lake Dam. These vital infrastructure improvements will help transform the park's offerings to the public while also making it more climate-change resilient. 

"The renewed infrastructure at Hempstead Lake State Park underscores New York's commitment to climate resilience and demonstrates our focus to protect communities most vulnerable to the increase of extreme weather events," Governor Hochul said. "This multi-year project expands recreational opportunities, protects our environment and supports climate resiliency making the surrounding community safer, and I'm proud to celebrate its completion."
