Message From the Superintendent

This page of our website is the best place to stay connected with the GMP and future events. Here you can find updated and expanded information on GMP activities and join the electronic mailing list to receive e-blasts. You can also follow us on Twitter.

Congress established Gateway in 1972 as a national park within easy reach of residents in the New York and New Jersey metropolitan area. Thirty years later Gateway is in need of a new General Management Plan (GMP) that will guide the park for the next 20 years.

Much has been accomplished since the first GMP newsletter was published in Summer 2009. The Fall 2010 newsletter details the progress we've made on the GMP, thanks in part to public comments and suggestions gathered over the last year. A summary of those comments can be found in the We Listened and Learned from You section of the newsletter.
