2006 New York Code - Parks, Playgrounds And Recreation Centers.

 
    §  501.  Parks,  playgrounds  and recreation centers. 1. The county is
  hereby authorized  to  accept  by  gift  and  to  acquire  by  purchase,
  condemnation,  lease or permit, and to own, construct, operate, maintain
  and  repair  anywhere  within  the  county  outside  of  cities,  parks,
  playgrounds,  athletic  fields  and  recreation  centers,  together with
  necessary buildings, structures, equipment and appurtenances, including,
  but without limitation, public baths, swimming  pools  and  auditoriums,
  and  to  make  the cost thereof a county charge. The county may contract
  with any town or village for the operation by the county or by such town
  or village of any park, playground, athletic field or recreation  center
  located  within  such town or village, whether owned by the county or by
  such town or village, and make the cost thereof a county charge.
    2. The board of supervisors shall have power by county act to regulate
  the use of and to establish a schedule of charges for the  use  of  such
  parks,  playgrounds,  athletic fields, recreation centers and facilities
  therein and may prescribe reasonable penalties  for  violations  of  its
  rules  and  regulations.  The  board  of  supervisors  may authorize the
  operation, granting and sale of concessions by the commission or  others
  in  or  in  connection with any such park, playground, athletic field or
  recreation center. All moneys received by the commission shall belong to
  the county and shall be paid into the  county  treasury  monthly  on  or
  before  the  tenth  day  of  the  month.  The board of supervisors, upon
  determination by county act  that  any  playground,  athletic  field  or
  recreation  center,  or  part thereof, or facility therein, is no longer
  required for public use, may authorize the commission to sell  or  lease
  the same under rules and regulations to be prescribed by local law.
