GREENE – Tourists and campers interested in exploring the region may learn about Gaius Cook Memorial Park in Greene from a recently revised link on Chenango County’s website.

The webpage lists amenities and the rates and dates for reservations as well as several pictures of the recently refurbished recreational lake, trails and camping areas. Workers participating under the direction of the Chenango County Youth Bureau and Headwaters Youth Conservation Corps, a program of The Place in Norwich, made many improvements last year to the 116-acre park.

Twenty-three of the 37 campsites with electrical hookups have already been reserved for the summer season, and the park was full to capacity over the Memorial Day weekend. The park has tent sites, pavilion rentals and picnic areas that are available for day use.

The pavilion is booked every Saturday and Sunday in August, according to park manager Doug Croley. Several weekends are also reserved this month and in July for family reunions and a wedding.
