On June 10, 2026 Governor Kathy Hochul announced the 2026 "Get Outdoors & Get Together Day" events at more than 20 New York State parks and public lands, coordinated by the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, OPWDD, DVS, OMH, the Justice Center and others. The initiative emphasizes expanding accessibility and inclusion in outdoor recreation through adaptive equipment, TRAID assistive technology loans, sensory-friendly features, and structured activities such as camping basics, hiking, birding, fishing, paddling, and outdoor safety.While the release focuses on this year’s single‑day events and does not describe a specific new procurement, it highlights an ongoing statewide push to invest in accessible trails, adaptive recreation equipment, assistive technology, and inclusive programming at parks and environmental education centers. Vendors in adaptive recreation gear, assistive tech, outdoor education, and accessibility design can treat this as a signal that the partner agencies are actively running and expanding such programs, making outreach around future equipment upgrades, staff training, and program development timely even though no formal RFP is mentioned here.
Federal grants fund the TRAID assistive technology loan program, which is managed by the Justice Center and supports these events; indicates existing grant-backed purchasing and program activity for assistive technologies.
