Book excerpt: Excerpt from Your Visit to Sandy Hook: Gateway National Recreation Area That these parklands have been preserved in the midst of the largest urban area in the work is the result of both technological change and people's determination to preserve green open space. New weapons technol ogy has made it possible for former military bases to be closed and turned into part of Gateway's parkland. Other areas that became part of the park were preserved because citizens decided they did not want scarce recreation space to be taken up by development. Large areas of the park were offered for donation by the City of New York and the states of New York and New Jersey. Responding to these facts. Congress in 1972 created Gateway as one of the first large urban parks to be managed by the National Park Service.
