The donations allow the Friends to continue their activities at the Park, which include providing equipment to groom the trails for winter recreation, a volunteer corps to do so, and the cost of fuel and maintaining the equipment. This past year saw significant upgrades in the grooming equipment, with the purchase of a new grooming sled and new drag. “The Friends of Higley Flow Grooming Equipment project was supported with funding from the NYS Park and Trail Partnership Grants and New York’s Environmental Protection Fund. Park and Trail Partnership Grants are administered by Parks & Trails NY, in partnership with the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.”
It’s likely that the access to the Park will be from the Gulf Rd. side due to bridge construction on Cold Brook Dr.
