In 2010, with Schodack Island State Park facing closure due to state budget cuts, a group of park users came together to support the park.After our efforts to save the park were successful, we looked for other ways to help. Our mission is to support the park by working with park staff to provide volunteers, develop programs and events, and to provide funds for park needs. We organize volunteers fo

r activities including park clean ups, trail maintenance, ice skate rental, and flower planting. In 2012 we raised over $7,000 for an event to celebrate the park’s 10th anniversary. Friends of Schodack Island State Park, Inc. was organized under the New York State Not-for-profit Corporation Law in 2010. We are governed by a board of directors elected by the membership.
