Transit Riders Picnic at the Park (Evangola)
August 6, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm EDT
FreeIt is NFTA-Metro’s last scheduled Parks Adventure Bus event, and BTRU is inviting folks to a special picnic at Evangola State Park!
We rented a six-table pavilion overlooking the beach for the day and will be handing out refreshments and snacks so people can feel nourished, hydrated and relieved from the sun. Folks are welcome to bring dishes to share with others as well.
Join us at NFTA-Metro bus terminal downtown for the first bus out, 9 AM, that Saturday morning or catch one of the two following buses.
The Parks Adventure Bus is the result of folks asking NFTA-Metro to replicate a weekend park bus program launched last year by Capital District Transportation Authority – CDTA. It gives families and households an affordable and environmentally clean means of visiting and enjoying our parks. To NFTA staff’s credit, they listened and partnered up with Erie County Parks, Recreation & Forestry and NY State Parks & Historic Sites on convening a two-month-long series of routes, targeting one park every Saturday.
Please RSVP so we can gauge an appropriate minimum of snacks and drink to bring.
Please note that we’re taking the first bus downtown to Evangola State Park, likely arriving sometime around 9:45 AM. People are welcome to arrive to the park by other means, but please note that parking is not free, but the bus is.
