MWA Presents CityofWaterDay.org

A project of the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance

Saturday, July 20, 2013

Governors Island, NYC

Liberty State Park, Jersey City

In Your Neighborhood | LIC Gantry St. Park

10 am - 4 pm | FREE

City of Water Day is the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance’s way to
bring together everything about the water that is exciting and fun, from
port commerce to environmental education to active recreation.
The event is a celebration of the potential of the waterfront.
Find out more about MWA, City of Water Day, and other related
information through the links below.

Even though City of Water Day is free, it requires donated time, money, and
supplies from generous individuals and organizations.

Individuals can volunteer at City of Water Day,
 click here for more information on volunteering.
Individuals are also encouraged to make a donation to
the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance to help us cover expenses -
a suggested donation amount would be the ticket price you'd expect
to pay at an event this great!

“Semi-secret” Astoria Park and Gantry Park [Jaunted]

Astoria Park, Queens

Pros: Location on the East River between the Triboro and Hell Gate bridges means picturesque vistas, lots of grass and hills, public sports facilities (including a massive, art deco public pool).
Cons: Far out from Manhattan, at the end of the N/ [Q]x trains (Astoria-Ditmars stop) and then a 20-minute walk towards the East River.
Who should go: anyone with a love of NYC history and infrastructure, families, runners/joggers, and tourists looking to sample of the awesome Greek food 

Gantry Plaza State Park, Queens



Pros: Some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline to be had, cool historic Pepsi-Cola sign and gantry docks, fishing and sightseeing piers, near the water taxi, wooden chaise lounges and adirondack chairs, summer evening free film festival.
Cons: Can be hard to reach on the weekends if the 7 train is skipping Long Island City stops.
Who should go: Couples, runners, walkers, sunbathers, picnickers.
