The New York State Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is set to commence work on upgrading the Coxsackie State Boat Launch and Riverside Park on the Hudson River in Greene County.

The $3.2m project will commence on 7 September and completed by spring 2022.

This will be the first state boat launch to be renewed under the Hudson Eagles Recreation Area, an initiative to bolster public access on the wild stretch of the Hudson River between Albany and Kingston.

The site improvements include new open-air pavilion to host weekly Farmers Markets and other special events; new trees, landscaping and seating; improved bike and pedestrian connections between the waterfront and downtown.

New sidewalks to enhance pedestrian site circulation, basketball court overhaul are part of the project.

It will include new welcome, wayfinding, and orientation signage, including water-facing site identification signage for boaters, interpretive signage, as well as other site elements to highlight local history.

The project will bolster the present boat launch with new floating gangways and docks, a new kayak launch, besides added space for transient boater tie-ups.

It will feature a new boat wash station, a rain garden, an electric vehicle charging station, and LED lights.

The Hudson Eagles Recreation Area will also upgrade state boat launches at Schodack Island State Park, Crailo State Historic Site, Athens State Boat Launch, Hudson State Boat Launch.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul said: “The Upper Hudson River Estuary, a 60-mile stretch of the Hudson River from Albany to Kingston, is a globally significant ecological and recreational asset.

“The Hudson Eagles Recreation Area offers the opportunity to create a destination unlike any other, a water-based linear park that will draw more people to the Hudson River and better connect communities to the waterfront and waterway travelers, starting with the Village of Coxsackie.

“In addition, new improvements to the Ferry Landing Fishing Access Site on the eastern shore of the Hudson are already bringing more local residents and visitors alike down to the river to experience nature.”
