	Hudson River Park Conservancy - Ruling
		The park is proposed to include a combination of active and passive recreational facilities that include boating through the establishment of mooring locations, boat launches, landings for water taxis, and ferries.
		The HRPA sets forth that the creation of this park is a matter of state concern and in the public interest because it will address the blighted conditions that exist in the area resulting in increased public access to the waterfront, growth in tourism, and stimulation of the economy.
		While establishing the park for public recreation, culture, and leisure, the law prohibits the establishment of an amusement park, manufacturing and commercial activities except to the extent they are incidental to park use, and gambling.

		Some parts of the park are still under construction while other areas, such as the Dept. of Sanitation docks at 59th St., remain untouched.
