Event Registration

This is a walking tour of Baisley Pond, in Baisley Pond Park in South Jamaica, Queens. The tour will take visitors around the entirety of the 1.5 mile pond with about 5-7 stops along the way. The stops we will explore will be by former mouths of creeks, along with a stop by the old lake outflow into a creek that runs all the way to Jamaica Bay. Other stops will be along major thoroughfares (like Rockaway Blvd), near August Martin High School, the Sutphin Playground Mastodon, and Mother Carter Garden. During the tour I will explain how waterways and water bodies have and continue to impact and influence life in this area from thousands of years ago to present day. Visitors should wear comfortable walking shoes. The park is accessible with benches and bathrooms throughout and no stairs. Visitors can also bring a camera and bottle of water.
