The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy’s education programs incorporate inquiry based and experiential learning initiatives into lessons which align with both New York State, and New York City education standards. We also provide teachers with support and materials that will enrich the experiences of their students. Seed money for the program was designated by Congresswoman Nydia Velasquez, through the Department of Juvenile Justice. Additional support has been provided by Con Edison and the TD Charitable Foundation.
One of the unique aspects of the park is the immediate water access. Classes are designed to allow students safe access to the water for testing and habitat observation. The park itself is easily accessible by the F train to York Street and C train to High Street Brooklyn Bridge, as well as an easy walk from Jay Street/Borough Hall. The classes are 1 ½ hours long, and serve up to 35 children at a time. Our teachers are professional educators and experts on the Hudson River Estuary. Since 2008 we have served over 7000 students from over 60 schools.
