In 1992 I had the pleasure of reviewing preliminary planning documents for Nassau County's Goffinsville park and boat landing. At the time, we did not have a county coordinator, we did not have a parks and recreation department, and we did not have a county office of management and budget. Nassau County has grown. We have all of those departments now, and we also have a beautiful new park. On Wednesday, July 22, 17 years after we began the planning, I attended the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremonies at Goffinsville Park, Nassau's newest county-managed property. The park boasts a boat ramp, fishing pier, and playground. There are picnic areas and comfort facilities. Our Environmental Horticulture agent, Becky Jordi, was instrumental in identifying the flora species and the nature trails are posted with identification markers. Take some time this weekend to check out the new park, and let us know if you spot other species that could be highlighted on the trails.
