The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation today announced the state park system hosted nearly 57 million visitors last year, an increase of one million visits over 2009.
"The robust park and historic site attendance in 2010 reflects the enduring popularity of the New York state park system," Acting Commissioner Andy Beers said. "With so many people turning to affordable and convenient destinations for recreation and culture in these difficult economic times, New York is fortunate to have such high-quality and inviting state parks and historic sites across the state."
Final attendance for 2010 was 56,962,002, up over a million visits from the previous year's total of 55,930,921.
