Donald J. Trump State Park is a undeveloped state park located within the towns of Yorktown and Putnam Valley in Westchester County and Putnam County, New York. The park consists of property donated to New York State in 2006 by Donald Trump. Maintenance of the park was halted in 2010 due to budget constraints, and the park remains largely undeveloped as of 2015. ==History== Having previously purchased the property for $2 million in the 1990s, the land for the park was donated in 2006 by Donald Trump, for whom the park was named.〔 The land was donated after Trump was unable to gain town approvals to develop a private golf course on the property. At the time of its donation, Trump claimed the parcel to be worth $100 million, and was able to use the donation as a tax write-off. New York State announced the park's closure due to budget cuts in February 2010. It was questioned whether the closure was necessary since the operating budget for the park was only $2500 a year and it was maintained by workers from the nearby Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park.〔 Although Trump threatened to take the parkland back after the closure was announced,〔 his attempt was unsuccessful and the land remained in the control of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. An attempt to convert a portion of the park's French Hill section for use as a dog park in 2010 revealed that at least one of the park's abandoned buildings contained asbestos. By 2012, the planned dog park remained on hold due to difficulties raising funds for fences and asbestos abatement. As of 2015, large signs along the nearby Taconic State Parkway continue to direct visitors to Donald J. Trump State Park.〔 However, a 2015 visit by a film crew found no sign of any recent upkeep; instead, the publicly accessible land was found to contain crumbling graffiti-covered buildings, empty map kiosks, and weed-choked parking lots. As of 2015, the park remains officially closed and is not listed at the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation park locator. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donald J.
