PARK PALS

Join the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy for Park Pals, a hands-on early childhood series designed to spark curiosity, connection, and care for nature. Each 90-minute session includes storytime, crafts, and outdoor exploration along the beautiful shoreline of Floyd Bennett Field, all tailored for our youngest adventurers and their families. Come learn, play, and grow with us as we discover something new each session!

Park Pals will return in fall 2026, with new dates to be announced in the summer. Stay tuned!
