Orange County Warns: No Snow Tubing at Thomas Bull Memorial Park

Orange County Parks & Recreation posted a public advisory titled "There is NO SNOW TUBING at Thomas Bull Memorial Park" on February 17, 2026, clarifying Thomas Bull Memorial Park does not offer snow tubing and that items and social media posts advertising snow-tubing activities at the park were incorrect. The advisory appeared on the county website under the Parks & Recreation category.

The county webpage flagged the notice as a News Flash on the Homepage Orange County New York site, with the advisory appearing in the site's Top Searches as "# News Flash" and "# \\\ There is NO SNOW TUBING at Thomas Bull Memorial Park." The posting date shown on the page was "Posted on February 17, 2026."

The original advisory text available on the site includes the fragment "The county emphasized safety and" but the publicly visible snippet does not include the full body of the county's statement beyond that fragment and the headline. The site copy available to readers explicitly states the park does not offer snow tubing and characterizes advertising and social media posts promoting snow tubing at Thomas Bull Memorial Park as incorrect.

The county's contact block on the website lists Orange County Government Center, 255 Main Street, Goshen, New York 10924; Phone: 845-291-4000Send Us a Message; Hours: Monday - Friday 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The county site also invites users to "Create a Website Account - Manage notification subscriptions, save form progress and more." Follow-up or clarification about the advisory can be sought through those listed contact channels during posted business hours.

Site context on the county page includes a "Related News" entry titled "Save the Date: Freedom Fest 250" and social follow links listed as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Linkedin. The advisory was filed in the Parks & Recreation section of the county site and surfaced as a top search item, signaling the county intended the message to reach residents and people searching for park activities.

Questions remain about the provenance of the incorrect advertisements and social media posts and about any additional safety guidance the county may have issued; the available county snippet stops at "The county emphasized safety and" and does not supply further detail. For confirmation or a complete copy of the advisory, the county’s listed phone number and the "Send Us a Message" option on the Orange County website are the official contact points.
