The park’s size will enable opportunities for a range of outdoor experiences from intimate hikes and family gatherings to larger community events. It hosts a vital segment of the dual Kingston Greenline and Empire State Trails, connecting Kingston Point Beach with East Kingston, one of the few places where the 750-mile Empire State Trail will connect directly with the Hudson River. The park also features historical remnants of brickmaking, natural cement, and ice harvesting industries; the adapted structures and sublime quarried canyons reveal industrial hallmarks of the Hudson Valley’s critical role in New York State’s development while demonstrating a forward-thinking future of climate adaptation and unique disturbance ecologies. By utilizing the site’s numerous existing natural and industrial features, the park can become a significant economic asset to local communities and support residents’ livelihoods by attracting visitors with activities appropriate to the land’s considerable conservation values.
