Dorchester Park in Whitney Point, which has been plagued by algae bloom closures over the summer, is closed again September 8 & 9 but this time it’s for a man-made issue.
Broome County Department of Parks, Recreation and Youth Services says the park is closed for paving for the next two days.
For information about all parks in Broome County, go to www.gobroomecounty.com/parks.
