The Binghamton Polar Plunge is one of several conducted
around the state by the state Special Olympics organization. Locally, the
plunge receives invaluable support from the New York State Police dive team and
Chenango Valley State Park staff, among others.This year’s Binghamton event was the first in the state to feature
participants entering the water via a water slide, a feature added as a result of
recent renovations at the park.
