Английская Википедия:Hallock State Park Preserve
Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox park Hallock State Park Preserve (formerly Jamesport State Park)[1] is a Шаблон:Convert state park and nature preserve located in the towns of Riverhead and Southold in Suffolk County, New York.[2][3] The park is situated on Long Island's north shore, with nearly Шаблон:Convert of beachfront facing Long Island Sound.[4]
History
The property that was to become Hallock State Park Preserve was formerly used for illegal sand mining during the 1960s, and was once intended to host a nuclear power plant planned by the Long Island Lighting Company during the 1970s. KeySpan Energy took ownership of the land in 1998.[5]
It was purchased by New York State from KeySpan Energy in 2002 for $16 million; the purchase also included an additional Шаблон:Convert adjacent to the future park land.[6][7] Although the park officially opened as Jamesport State Park in 2005,[3] legal access to the undeveloped park was restricted until official trails and a welcome center could be constructed.[5][7]
A master plan was adopted for the park in 2010, at which time the park's name was changed from Jamesport State Park to Hallock State Park Preserve.[1] The name change was intended to address the fact that the park was not located in nearby Jamesport; instead the park was named after a pond on the property.[8]
Impending development of the park's facilities was announced in 2014 after $3 million in funding was secured in the state's budget. The state funds joined an additional $3.9 million of development money that was received from selling the adjacent Шаблон:Convert parcel as protected farmland.[7]
Park description
The Шаблон:Convert[2] park contains woodlands, open areas and a rare coastal perched pond, in addition to a Шаблон:Convert beach along Long Island Sound.[7] It is intended to serve as a nature preserve in addition to allowing passive recreation such as hiking, fishing, non-motorized boating, and seasonal horse-riding and scuba diving. There is a park office and nature center, trails, and a road that passes farmland leading to an upper parking lot and trails to Hallock Pond and the Sound.[1] The park boasts commanding views of the Long Island Sound.
