  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subject to the provisions of this act, the town of  Orange-
town,  county  of  Rockland, is hereby authorized, acting by and through
its town board and upon such terms and conditions as determined by  such
board, to discontinue the use of the municipally owned park land common-
ly  known  as Broadacres Golf Course, and more particularly described in
section three of this act, which is no longer needed for park  purposes,
and  sell  and  convey  in fee simple for its fair market value and upon
such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate such lands  which  are
no  longer  useful  for  park and recreation purposes. The authorization
contained in this section shall only be effective on the condition  that
State of New York waives any reversion clause of any deed conveying such
property, if applicable.
  S 2. The authorization contained in section one of this act shall take
effect  only  upon the condition that the town of Orangetown shall dedi-
cate lands from the lands described in section four of this act as addi-
tional park lands of the town, provided that the town of Orangetown  has
never  used  such  lands for public open space or park purposes, are not
lands under water, are improved such that the  lands  with  improvements
are  of  equal  or  greater fair market value than the value of the park
lands being alienated by this act, are at least  thirty  acres  of  land
that  include  all  land  adjacent  to  a body of water within the lands
described in section four of this act known as  Lake  Tappan,  and  that
such  lands  form  one contiguous park. Such improvements shall include,
but not be limited to, a walking and/or bike  path,  and  public  access
