Jamesport State Park is a classic example of parkland, purchased by the state for it's preservation and enjoyment, yet it is closed to the public. News reports have said that anyone caught "visiting" the park will be given a $220 tresspassing ticket. How arcane is that? How about needing a permit to access many other state lands. Or National Wildlife refuges, such as Wertheim in Shirley, where you are only allowed in 1/3 of the park. Dont even think of going in on Old Barto road...almost got arrested for doing that. Something is wrong when citizens aren't allowed to FREELY ACCESS land their government purchased, with our tax dollars! Time to take action people! This nonsense has to STOP.

Jul 22, 2008 - This pisses me off so bad, just as much as it does you. This is wrong and so not fair on so many levels. Once again, they are forcing us to remain in the residential and industrial areas. Why horde all these beautiful hiking areas from those of us who like to take nice nature walks? I hate this crap. Stupid town and state officials. So corrupt.
