NY State Funds Parks to Get Kids Outside | Buffalo News

New York State is pouring ten million dollars into new parks and splash pads across the state, fueled by the Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Bond Act, to get kids off screens and outside this summer. Governor Hochul’s “Get Offline, Get Outside” push is bringing updated pools, playgrounds, and free recreation to underserved communities — especially vital for cooling off and staying active in the heat. Local leaders are thrilled, with places like Saugerties finally finishing a long-awaited seven-year splash pad project thanks to this funding. It’s not just about screen time — it’s about creating safe, social, and accessible fun for every kid, no matter their background.
