The word is that Assemblyman Joe Lentol is brokering a solution that would allow the East River State Park to stay open for the winter. The proposal still needs a sign off from the State Department of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation.

So now might be a good time to drop the Parks Commissioner a polite email indicating how important the park is to you and your neighbors. (518) 474-0456 (sorry, I can't find an email address).
