The Public Paddles let NBCB do what we do best: fulfill our mission
to enable access to the waterways of New York City for our local community.
We'll have canoe tours with views of Manhattan, tasty beverages and snacks on hand, and friends and neighbors gathering together on the shores of Newtown Creek.
The event runs 12-4. Show up at any time, and we will get you out on your waters to see NYC in a whole new way.
We'll also a set up a Community Reflection Space, where we invite you to express your thoughts on the estuary and the waterways, their history, ecology, and meaning, and decorate the front gate with your images and words. We'll have art supplies on hand! Be a part of City of Water Day by sharing your thoughts on your waterways at your Community Boathouse.
At these free, informal paddles, North Brooklyn Community Boathouse welcomes walk-up participants to join trained NBCB guides for short trips on Newtown Creek and often out toward the East River, where we often pause to take in the view of Manhattan. This Public Paddle will use our new fleet of 29′ canoes. Everyone on the paddle works together under expert instruction to forge a unique NYC experience, seeing the city in a new way.
Public paddles are free and open to everyone. We especially hope to welcome our Greenpoint neighbors and members of other community organizations. Come down to our old boatyard at 51 Ash Street, right next to the Pulaski Bridge, and learn more about Greenpoint’s history, environmental challenges and successes, and residents.
¡La temporada 2021 arranca con un Pádel Público! 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 30 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. Sin minimos de talla para las canoas.
Las mascaras son necesarias si no esta vacunado.
Please come join us at YOUR community boat club!
NBCB sincerely thanks the Greenpoint Community Environment Fund and the Office of the New York State Attorney General and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for financial support for our Public Paddle series.
