Letter: Heckscher Park an 'abomination'

Regarding Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone's plan to have the county's first marathon start and finish at Heckscher State Park ["Dislike new Suffolk marathon route," Letters, Oct. 10], I have only one comment. Has Bellone ever been there to see the absolute disrepair this park is in?
What should be a county and state treasure is instead an abomination. The pool has been a disgrace for years, and many parking lots are closed.
