Dear Gallatin Residents,

The Town is always aware that our lack of a town center and  accompanying recreations fields and/ or public pool may make it more difficult for our residents and their children to participate in town based outdoor activities. Therefore, we are always looking to expand our resident’s recreation opportunities while keeping too our rather modest budget. One of the wonderful features of Gallatin is that it hosts the larger part of Taghkanic State Park which has hiking, camping, kayaking, lake access and more. So, instead of trying to duplicate those features,  we are instead offering our residents a free family car empire pass to access the Park (and any other NY state Park as a bonus!). We are starting with a small pool of passes to see the popularity this year and we will expand the program as we go.
