Commissioner Rose Harvey will join state, local and community leaders to celebrate the opening of the new Peerless Pool Complex at Saratoga Spa State Park. The new bathhouse welcomes more green space around the pool, improves sightlines from the lifeguard office to the swimming areas, provides expanded changing areas and offers much more.

The park improvements reflect Governor Cuomo's commitment to revitalizing the state park system and expanding access to outdoor recreation. The Governor's NY Parks 2020 program is a multi-year commitment to leverage $900 million in private and public funding for State Parks from 2011 to 2020. The 2018-19 State Budget allocates $90 million toward this initiative.
