Trump State Park, a 436-acre patch of unused land&nbsp;approximately eight miles east of Peekskill, New York, and 50 miles north of New York City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew York State has always been known for its history of welcoming and embracing people of all cultures and backgrounds,\u201d the bill <a href=\"https:\/\/nyassembly.gov\/leg\/?default_fld=&amp;leg_video=&amp;bn=A00466&amp;term=&amp;Summary=Y&amp;Actions=Y&amp;Committee%26nbspVotes=Y&amp;Memo=Y&amp;Text=Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a>. \u201cEven our park system reflects these values. According to the Declaration of Policy of the Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation, our parks should foster and strengthen the sense of purpose, well-being and identity of the citizens of this state. The names of these parks and green spaces should embody the goals of uplifting and unifying New Yorkers. For these reasons the Donald J. Trump State Park should be renamed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump had originally purchased the land with the intention of building a golf course, but the plan fell through and he donated the land to the state in 2006 with the stipulation that his name be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lohud.com\/story\/news\/politics\/politics-on-the-hudson\/2016\/02\/16\/donald-trumps-name-must-prominently-displayed-park\/80461516\/?cookies=&amp;from=global\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prominently displayed<\/a>.

I am confident that the governor will take our letters into consideration. If he is unable to act, then we are prepared to move forward with this legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D-Queens), who sponsored the new bill, said, \u201cOur parklands should be reflective of New Yorkers that we can be proud of, New Yorkers that have expressed our values.&nbsp;There are a lot of other New Yorkers who are worthy of the honor of having a park named after themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been working on this for a number of years, and I certainly am hopeful that it will get the green light and move forward,\u201d she added. \u201cAt the end of the day, we want people to be able to appreciate parkland and be able to visit it without stigma, without shame, and we want to be able to be proud of our open spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tourism Committee Chair Danny O\u2019Donnell (D-Manhattan) said he did not believe Trump or his lawyers will bother to fight the park\u2019s renaming.&nbsp;\u201cI don\u2019t think [Trump] will have the resources to care when the time comes,\u201d he said. \u201cBut maybe he would; he\u2019s sufficiently a narcissist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/de-blasio-severs-all-contracts-between-nyc-and-trump-organization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WATCH: \u2018An Organization Led By A Criminal\u2019: De Blasio Severs All Contracts Between NYC And Trump Organization<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
