Cheers: Ryerson Station State Park and its manager, Alan Johnson, are moving forward with the massive and ongoing âRevisioning Ryersonâ project, which includes the modernization of campgrounds and the construction of a new aquatics center at park in western Greene County. Johnson recently announced that despite setbacks and temporary shutdowns caused by winter weather and the COVID-19 pandemic, the project is on track, and the new pool complex is expected to be completed sometime this summer. That will undoubtedly be enjoyed by any visitors seeking refuge from the warm weather and the pandemic blues. Johnson and construction crews have been working diligently to complete the project that has been years in the making. We also salute the many in- and out-of-county visitors who have continued to travel to Ryerson and use its campgrounds and cottages, and take advantage of the precious resource located in the rural hills of Greene County.

The modernization of Ryerson Station State Park’s campgrounds is immediately paying dividends as campers flocked to the park last year to spend more time outdoors during the coronavirus pandemic.
Attendance in the camp area, which was renovated for nearly two years, more than doubled in 2020 compared to the last full year it was open to the public in 2017.
The upgrades included new indoor showers and deluxe cottages as part of the “revisioning plan” designed to make the state park in western Greene County more appealing to visitors after the loss of its key attraction, Duke Lake, nearly 16 years ago.
