Ever since 2009 there has been talk of demolishing 14 structures from the Kings Park Psychiatric Center. However, due to financial restraints it continuously gets postponed. The state has allocated funds to finally get the job done. As early as May of 2012 there will be 15 structures to be demolished unless we act now.
Together we can help save these buildings from demolition. Over the years the buildings and the grounds of the center have almost become a historical landmark to the small town of Kings Park. Many have traveled from afar to visit the grounds of the former psyche center in order to take part in a unique experience that can only come from being there in person. The feeling is different for all... and yes, for some it might even bring back nightmares. Still, the place which is now better known as the Nissequogue River State Park is very serene and fascinating to the eyes. To be able to stand there and behold these long abandoned structures is breathtaking, especially the ominous Building 93.
If these structures are destroyed it will be just another field of rubble.... later to become just another shopping center or a haunted housing development, where no one will want to live. The asbestos and lead contamination goes down too deep in the ground. It is spread too far. It is best to leave the place as it is to avoid the possibility of living somewhere that can be unsafe after extended exposure.
Help by signing this petition and save the buildings to help save ourselves in the long run.
