We are feeling the love! ❤️ Over 150 generous park enthusiasts came out to support the Spa during this year's I Love My Park Day. Together these volunteers removed 45 bags of trash from the grounds, picked up sticks in the picnic area, spread woodchips on three playgrounds, cleaned up five garden beds and planted flowers for all to enjoy. A most sincere thank you to all who came out and joined us today. We wholeheartedly appreciate you taking time out of your weekend to help us get our busy season started. It's true, many hands do make light work!

Thank you to the park staff, maintenance crews, Friends of Saratoga Spa State Park volunteers, Parks & Trails New York , NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and the many organizations that participated this year. We couldn't do it without you!
