New Park Hours Announced for Four Parks in Dutchess County

As much as it is nice to get our hour back it is frustrating that it comes with a price. Now that we have officially fallen back an hour it gets dark sooner so some of the things we enjoyed when daylight lasted longer will have to wait until warmer weather and longer days return.

Some people hate that we now leave work in the dark. Others however love the fact that we have sun in the morning earlier. The one thing we can all agree on is it was nice to get an extra hour last weekend.

Dutchess County Parks Have New Hours Starting in November

The time change has also led to a few other changes for the season namely hours of operations for our local and New York State Parks. Many of them have announced this week that they are shortening their hours of operation for the season.
