Check out the Park's newest visitor — a beaver! 🦫 Recently seen swimming around Gansevoort Peninsula, this beaver marks the first recorded sighting in our 400-acre Estuarine Sanctuary! Though a rare sight in NYC, beavers are native to our local waterways.

International Water Safety Day is a reminder that beach season is almost here.
NYC beaches open May 23 and lifeguards keep us safe! Make sure that you swim when lifeguards are on duty (10 a.m. – 6 p.m.) in areas where a lifeguard is present.
Lets get ready for a safe summer!
