Max V. Shaul State Park to Host I Love My Park Day Event May 3

Volunteers Participating at Events State to Celebrate State Parks and Historic Sites

FULTONHAM — New York State Parks will host volunteers at Max V. Shaul State Park for Park & Trails New York’s Annual I Love My Park Day event. I Love My Park Day, a statewide initiative bringing together thousands of volunteers to enhance and beautify New York’s state parks and historic sites. On May 3rd, more than 100 parks across the state will see community members rolling up their sleeves to clean, restore, and improve these beloved outdoor spaces.

At this event, volunteers will register and split up into groups at 9am. The groups will be undertaking trail clean up, planting flowers and trees, and painting. After their hard work, volunteers will be treated to a barbeque lunch courtesy of park staff and Stewart’s Shops.

Max V. Shaul State Park is a small, quiet camping area with 30 wooded tent and trailer sites. The park has shady picnic grounds, a pavilion available for rent, a playground and hiking trails. Ball fields are available to use, and equipment can be borrowed from the park office at no cost. Fishing access is available at the Schoharie Creek, a short walk from the parking lot through the ball fields.Those interested in volunteering at Max V. Shaul can register online at www.ptny.org/ilovemypark

I Love My Park Day is organized by Parks & Trails New York (PTNY) in partnership with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Local sponsorships and partnerships help make this event possible—thank you Stewart’s Shops and Home Depot for their generous donations.
