Fun Fact
In 1642, Cornelius Dircksen, a local farmer, started the first ferry between Peck Slip in Manhattan and what is now the corner of Front and Fulton Street. Passengers would call Dircksen out of his fields with a horn to ferry them across the river.

Brooklyn Bridge Park - A Living Classroom

Harbor Camp girlsSince its inception, the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy has been deeply committed to highlighting the Park's resources as a living classroom and providing programs to educate the public about the site's rich history and estuarine environment.  Through Harbor Camp, National Estuaries Day activities, our stewardship program, walking tours, special events and publications, the Conservancy and our partners are helping to reconnect New Yorkers to the great outdoors.

The 12-acre beginnings of Brooklyn Bridge Park, between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, have already become a living classroom.  The full 85-acre with its restored habitats and ecosytems promises to become an inspiring place for educational programs.
