New Sign July 2006 - John Dillon Park Opened as the First Adirondack Recreational Area Designed Specifically for People with Disabilities and Their Caregivers

John Dillon Park opened July 2006 as the first Adirondack recreational area designed specifically for people with disabilities and their caregivers. The park fulfills former International Paper chairman, John T. Dillon's vision for an Adirondack wilderness available to everyone. "The park is designed for people with disabilities to bring their friends, family and caregivers for an outdoor wilderness experience , through the installation of special adaptive facilities blended into a natural environment. The park demonstrates how well-managed forests, manufacturing and forestry protection play a role in benefiting the Adirondacks. This vision has been brought to life by International Paper partnering with the State of New York through a recreation easement and Paul Smith’s College to manage the park." This new park demonstrates the compatibility of accessible recreation, conservation and education within working forests. John Dillon Park is located in the heart of New York State in the Adirondacks on Grampas Lake. John Dillon Park, 2150 Tupper Road, Long Lake, NY 12847.
