New York is giving free state park pass, Knicks tickets to those getting vaccinated this week

Reportedly, while the rate of COVID-19 vaccination rose in New York in April, the trend has been on a decline since then. Thus, to manage this situation and to ensure people get vaccinated, Governor Andrew Cuomo is making all the efforts. Reportedly, he has announced that anyone who gets vaccinated in New York state between May 24 and May 31, 2021, will become eligible for a free two-day State Park Pass to any of the 181 state parks.
Elaborating more on this, he added that providing free passes to those who get vaccinated is an incredible summer-season incentive, and is a great way to get more people outdoors to enjoy all that New York has to offer. As per the reports, the offer will be for anyone who gets vaccinated with either a first dose, or a single dose of vaccination, whereas the free two-day State Park pass will remain valid till September 30, 2021, which can be picked up at any New York State Park.
Further, to ensure people get their vaccination shots easily, the state is also coming up with pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinics at 15 state parks. Reports suggest that vaccinations will be available at the following sites - Belmont Lake State Park, FDR State Park, Hempstead Lake State Park, Buffalo Harbor State Park,Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park, Grafton Lakes State Park, Green Lakes State Park, Harriman State Park at Lake Welch, Heckscher State Park, Letchworth State Park, among others.
Also, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced that anyone who is 16 years of age or older, and has received their COVID-19 vaccination at The Pennsy Food Hall at Madison Square Garden on May 27, June 1, or June 3, would be eligible to win tickets to a Knicks game.
