. A state park plan for New York, with a proposal for the new park bond issue. Parks. AT SUMMIT LAKE of 3,000,000 persons visited the New York section of the park this season. In excess of the 50,000 group campers, which com- prised 86 different groups, there were 3,000 individual campers under canvas. The park areas which the Commission have developed are being so intensively used that it is imperative that other avail- able areas be developed as rapidly as possible. The number of daily visitors at Bear Mountain this season so congested the docks, picnic groves, playfields, pavilions, roads, parking spaces and other facilities that other develop- ments of this kind must be made to meet the public demands for this type of recreation. The automobile traffic has grown so rapidly and the present drives are so congested that much progress must be made to- ward the completion of the road system of the park within a very few years to relieve this condition. The parking spaces along the present drives are inadequate to meet the present demand and motor picnickers are compelled to use these areas not yet provided with sanitary facilities oi proper fire protection and so are greatly increasing the fire.
