Join NYC Bird Alliance this spring to explore beautiful Crotona Park. Its meadows, flowering trees, and sizable pool provide excellent habitats for a variety of birds, including woodpeckers, warblers, and wading birds.

Registration not required but encouraged. No Limit. Free. The group will meet at the Nature Center located within the park on 1702 Crotona Ave, on the eastern shoreline of Indian Pond.

Accessibility:  Crotona Park contains mostly paved and flat terrain. The Nature Center contains restrooms.

Directions: Accessible via the Bx11, Bx15, Bx17 bus. The 2 and 5 trains also stop near the park on 174th Street.
