35 mile -- East River Loop  This route is ideal for riders looking for more than a Sunday stroll. The route travels through historic Downtown Brooklyn, around idyllic Prospect Park, through the artistic enclave of Williamsburg and follows the East River all the way to Astoria Park in Queens. Route begins in Central Park at 7:30 am or in Prospect Park at 8 am. Finish between 11 am and 3 pm.

55 mile -- The Waterfront  This route increases the mileage, but with New York’s relatively flat terrain, it is a manageable route for a rider looking to challenge themselves. This route takes riders through waterfront views along the Brooklyn Greenway, including the majestic Verrazano Bridge and the famous amusements at Coney Island. The route eventually re-connects with the 35-mile route to the finish. Route begins in Central Park at 7 am or in Prospect Park at 7:30 am. Finish between 11 am and 4 pm. 

75 mile -- The Rockaways  This route is not for amateurs. Riders travel out to Far Rockaway, Queens and beautiful Fort Tilden Beach. The route takes riders along miles of Queens greenway, through the serene, car-free Forest Park and up to Kissena Park, before cutting west through northern Queens to Astoria Park. Route begins in Central Park at 6:30 am or in Prospect Park at 7 am. Finish between 12 pm and 4 pm. 

100 mile -- The NYC Century  The full 100 mile tour is for experienced bicyclists only. - See more at: http://nyccentury.org

the HAPPY volunteer : Raking leaves in Astoria Park

[Thank You for everything to the Happy Volunteer.]

raking leaves in Astoria Park

Brrrr! It is a cold November morning but I am eager to get to Astoria Park to volunteer with New York Cares and the Astoria Park Alliance. Astoria Park is 59.96-acres city park that runs along the East River in Queens that has many beautiful trees which means A LOT of leaves to rake in the Fall!

The Astoria Park Alliance is a GREAT organization that was started in 2007 to create a bridge between the community surrounding Astoria Park and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. Volunteers and supporters assist in keeping the park maintained and clean and bring awareness to the community. ...

... it was nice to hear that most of the black garbage bags we used to fill with leaves are re-used from previous volunteer events in the park.

Build It Green! NYC is a nonprofit that takes in salvaged material such as doors, windows, and wood from construction sights, supplier, and other sources to stop these items from going in the landfill. Most of these items are sold in their warehouse and some are donated. This is a GREAT idea! ... This compost will later on be used as mulch for city parks.

We had a Great Day at the shore for Astoria Park Shore Fest Day Two.  

Tletlpapatlotzin, the Aztec Drum Group entertained and enlightened us with
a traditional dance circle.

Our Friends The East River Blues Band with their Blues and Roots Rock that rolled along like the river that gave them their name.

Build It Green! NYC (@BIGNYC) and Friends showed us how it can be fun to be environmentally aware.

We had a beautiful day in our park on the river. See you next Sunday for the
Big River Jam.    [08/18]

APSF - Shore Fest 2013 [Sundays August 2013]

APSF : Astoria Park Shore Fest : 2013

Sundays : Aug 04 : Aug 11 : Aug 18

  1 pm - 6:30 pm

the project

One of the goals of increased community involvement
in the planning and execution of Shore Fest is being
realized this year with the inclusion of
additional community partners.

This is an important  milestone in the growth of
Shore Fest as a  community building project and
in the creation of stakeholders in re-imagining the
use of Shore Boulevard.

This year, two of the communities brightest stars,

We Heart Astoria and Build It Green, will bring their unique sensibilities to the event. 
 August 4th is We Heart Astoria Food Fest, August 11 is Build it Green Day.
 They join valued partners the NY City Parks and Recreation Department 
 and Green Shores NYC. Shore Fest is an NYC Dept. of Transportation 

 Sponsored Temporary Pedestrian Street.

Shore Fest continues to evolve as a showcase for the potential of Shore Boulevard as a 

multi-use public space. Shore Fest is a place to meet new people, enjoy old friends, and 

carve a river of life out of a car-filled street.
