Description
Join NYC Bird Alliance and Outdoor Afro to explore the largest state park in New York City, Shirley Chisholm State Park! Named after the trailblazing Shirley Chisholm—Brooklyn native, first African American Congresswoman, and the first woman and African American to run for President—this park is a must-see. Built on what was once a landfill, the park is now a thriving spot full of wildlife, including hawks, waterfowl, wetlands, and native plants. Come out and enjoy the beauty of this amazing space while honoring Shirley Chisholm’s incredible legacy!
The group will meet at the Penn Ave Entrance of Shirley Chisholm State Park (1750 Granville Payne Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11239)
Registration not required but encouraged. No Limit. Free.
Note on Accessibility:
This park contains mostly gravel trails of different lengths and inclinations. Restrooms, parking, and a water-filling station can be found near the meeting location. The BM2, BM5, B82, B82-SBS, and B83 buses all stop near the Pennsylania Entrance. For more details about Shirley Chisholm State Park's facilities and how to get there, please visit the New York State Parks website.
