State lawmakers in New York are moving forward with a bill to rename Donald J. Trump State Park, a 436-acre patch of unused land approximately eight miles east of Peekskill, New York, and 50 miles north of New York City.

“New York State has always been known for its history of welcoming and embracing people of all cultures and backgrounds,” the bill said. “Even our park system reflects these values. According to the Declaration of Policy of the Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation, our parks should foster and strengthen the sense of purpose, well-being and identity of the citizens of this state. The names of these parks and green spaces should embody the goals of uplifting and unifying New Yorkers. For these reasons the Donald J. Trump State Park should be renamed.”
