MANLIUS — Green Lakes State Park will receive $5.2 million from New York state for five improvement projects, including building a new park entrance, office, and police station.

The money is part of more than $92 million in funding that Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced Tuesday would advance 69 projects to improve and repair 53 state parks and historic sites across New York. This marks the third year of the New York Works initiative to revitalize New York’s State park system to support recreational and tourism opportunities.

The funds going to Green Lakes State Park will also fund improvements at Pine Wood Campground, park trails, the park’s sewage-treatment plant, and its golf-course clubhouse and pro shop.
