Trump’s Conviction Renews Push to Strip His Name From a New York Park

Long before Donald J. Trump was president, New Yorkers were accustomed to seeing his name emblazoned on buildings, golf courses — even a state park.

But in the years since he entered politics, Mr. Trump’s once potent personal brand has soured in his home state amid legal and political scrutiny.

His name has gradually disappeared from skyscrapers in Manhattan, golf courses in the Bronx and skating rinks in the heart of Midtown.

And now, less than 24 hours after he became the first American president to be convicted of a felony, state lawmakers are looking to revive a push to strip Mr. Trump of one of his few remaining monuments: Donald J. Trump State Park.

Located some 35 miles north of the New York City border, the park — whose signage dots the Taconic State Parkway in northern Westchester County — has generally attracted more curiosity and disapproval than it has visitors.

Mr. Trump donated the 436-acre plot to the State of New York in 2006 after plans to develop it into a luxurious private golf course fell apart. He had purchased the land for less than $3 million in the late 1990s, and received a substantial tax deduction in return. The precise value of this gift is not clear, but Mr. Trump has valued it at $26.1 million. For the 2006 tax year, he reported noncash charitable contributions of $34 million on his tax returns.
