ERIN, N.Y. (WETM) — Park Station is almost ready to open for the 2024 season.

The Chemung County Buildings and Grounds Department announced Park Station’s hours and prices for this summer. Little has changed from the 2023 season.

The park’s control booth will be open on weekends and Memorial Day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting on Saturday, May 25. The booth will be open every day for the same hours from June 15 through Labor Day (Sept. 2). The snack bar will be open from noon to 6 p.m. on days when the control booth is open. The park’s waterfront will be open from noon until 6 p.m. every day from June 15 through Labor Day, but inclement weather could affect this. Lifeguard staffing may impact the waterfront’s hours as well.
