ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE? 2024 marks New York State Parks Centennial, and with it, lots of reasons to celebrate! As you head out on your next adventure to a New York State park or historic site, we invite you to take on the Centennial Challenge!

We’ve come up with a list of 100 activities to give you a chance to get outdoors and discover our state parks, to learn more about our New York State history at our historic sites, and to give back to preserve all our properties for the next generation. You can participate in the Centennial Challenge either as an individual or as part of a group or team!

Complete 24 out of 100 activities, win prizes!

Not sure you can complete all 100 activities in a year? That’s okay! The goal is to complete 24, after which you’ll earn a commemorative Centennial prize, as well as an entry into a random drawing for one of 24 three-year Empire Passes and a Centennial swag bag!

Visit New York State Parks visitor center for more information.
