“Baugh Family Public Park” to Replace Former NY State Boys Home on Mutton Hollow Rd
Something new is coming to Great Valley, NY, created from something old. The former NY State Boys Home (located at 6619 Mutton Hollow Rd) is transforming into the “Baugh Family Public Park.” An idea that Travis and Darlene Bough envisioned of a recreational area in Great Valley for everyone to enjoy. And they are celebrating their open house this Friday, July 28th.
Town Supervisor Dan Brown wanted to let everyone know that the festivities start at 6:00pm. Back Draft BBQ will be on sight offering up their famous pulled pork and Travis Happoldt will be performing a set of his popular outlaw country. (There will be a tent in case it rains.)
Guests are asked to bring just two things with them. A chair to sit in and ideas to apply to the park in the future. The goal is to figure out what the community wants to add. Hiking trails, a bike trail, picnic areas, restrooms, etc… The night is about having fun and sharing ideas to make this the best park possible.
Dan said, per his Facebook post, “I have to thank our highway men Jack, Randy, Nate, Chad and DJ for helping and putting up with me Wednesday and Thursday getting the grounds ready. Please please pass this information along to anyone on Facebook, face to face, at the coffee counters, lunch counters, anywhere, anyway. Thank you Dan.”
