KINGSTON – New features have been completed at Sojourner Truth State Park in Kingston to better connect people with the Hudson River.
They were celebrated on Friday.
The project is highlighted by a 2,000 square foot shaded community pavilion, a plaza-like gathering space, resurfaced fishing platform, benches and picnic tables. Newly planted native trees, shrubs and grasses enhance the site that once stood as a hub for brick and cement manufacturing.
“The recently completed waterfront trail and pavilion at Sojourner Truth State Park will benefit our community for generations, offering a tranquil and rejuvenating recreational space along the waterfront, with spectacular views of the Hudson River,” said Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger.
The county, Scenic Hudson, State Office of Parks, and the Palisades Interstate Park Commission partnered to build the new features at the site of a former barge dock.
