As part of a the planned New York budget cuts, many of the state parks will be closed or limited within their operations. One of two state parks in NYC, the Riverbank State Park (which sits on top of the formerly controversial sewage treatment plant) will be affected by limited hours and closed outdoor pools during the summer. With billions of dollars in the state deficit, some 55 parks or historic sites were not so lucky and have been planned to close indefinitely in 2010.
