Free kayak trips on Newtown Creek. No experience needed!
Viaje en kayaks gratis en Newtown Creek. ¡No se necesita experiencia!
Hunters Point Parks Conservancy is partnering with the North Brooklyn Community Boathouse for our first free public paddle event from the new Queens Landing Boathouse and Environmental Center.
Public Paddles are the heart of North Brooklyn Community Boathouse, a chance to show the community that the waters belong to all of us and to help our friends and neighbors find the same joy in paddling that we all know.
Trips are 20 minutes long and will use sit-on-top kayaks which seat 1 or 2 people.
There is a minimum height requirement of 4'10" in order to ensure the kayak will remain balanced.
Please keep in mind, you will get wet!
The event runs from12 - 4pm. We suggest arriving early to guarantee a spot, as they are first come-first serve.
Los Public Paddles son el corazón del North Brooklyn Community Boathouse, una oportunidad para mostrarle a la comunidad que las aguas nos pertenecen a todos y ayudar a nuestros amigos y vecinos a encontrar la misma alegría en el remo que todos conocemos.
Los viajes duran 20 minutos y utilizarán kayaks con capacidad para uno o dos personas. Hay un requisito de altura mínima de 4'10 " para garantizar que el kayak se mantenga equilibrado. Se deben usar máscaras en el astillero y en los kayaks.

What to Wear & Bring
Life jackets (personal flotation devices or PFDs) will be provided and must be worn by all paddlers. Kayaks are low to the water so dress for getting wet. Quick-dry clothes are recommended since cotton gets heavy and chilly in cold temperatures when wet. Depending on the weather, you might want to bring protective clothes (windbreaker, rain jacket, fleece, etc.) in a dry bag. There is a public bathroom next to the boathouse if you'd prefer to change after going on the water.
Wear old sneakers, swim shoes, or sports sandals
Sunscreen
Waterproof case for your phone (or leave it on land)
