Amenities of the centre will include new accessible paths, plantings, outdoor exhibits, and interpretive elements.

The existing 7,000ft2 regional administration building, which is located adjacent to the new facility, will also be modified to include regional archives, a multi-purpose community room, and offices for Niagara regional interpretive staff.

New York State senator Rob Ortt said: “The creation of this new welcome center will allow visitors to explore all of the history and experiences that our beautiful state park has to offer while expanding upon the completion of last year’s Welcome Plaza.

“The continued efforts to grow the connection between our state park and downtown Niagara Falls will only serve to benefit both entities and the residents who operate shops and restaurants within our city’s business district.

“I commend New York State’s continued commitment to the beautification and increased visitor immersion at the natural wonder of the world we are lucky enough to have located in our backyard.”
