New York State Parks seeks new website design

Upgrade intended to engage, inspire & enhance visitor experience

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has issued a request for proposals (RFP) seeking a new agency website design and content management system highlighting the popular system of state parks and historic sites, which drew 84.1 million visitors to its properties in 2023.

Vendors are being solicited to create the new website on the Drupal platform and provide a world-class, user-friendly resource to showcase the more than 250 parks, sites, golf courses, campgrounds, marinas, trails and boat launches, as well as the many recreation and historic preservation programs and events the agency oversees.

Once launched, the new website will be a preeminent source of information and inspiration for planning travel, spending time in New York’s outdoors and discovering its cultural and historic treasures.

The RFP and details related to submission deadlines and contact information are found on the existing website’s procurement opportunities page (https://parks.ny.gov/business/procurement-opportunities.aspx), referencing procurement number C003648.
