Join NYC Bird Alliance to explore New York City's largest park this summer! Pelham Bay Park's forested areas, salt marshes, and grassy meadows offer rich habitat making it a great place to bird all year around!

The group will meet at the southern zone of the park, and meet in the parking lot adjacent to the Aileen B. Ryan Recreational Complex- location meeting spot here. Scopes may come in handy if you have them.

Registration not required but encouraged. No Limit. Free.

Accessibility and Directions: 

Public transportation to the park is possible via the 6 train and then Bx12 bus. To learn more about the facilities available, as well as directions to Pelham Bay Park, please visit the Friends of Pelham Bay Park's website.
