KEY POINT

   * Quality Parks researched the park's origins.  Brookhaven State Park was acquired as part of the Federal Lands to Parks Program.  According to the National Parks Service, "Land acquired through the Federal Lands to Parks Program must be used for public park and recreational use in perpetuity . . . If appropriate, the land may remain undeveloped for passive recreational use, such as bird watching, photography, or wildlife conservation, as long as it is open to the public."
