Go Green Brooklyn

North Brooklyn Community Boathouse Public Paddle
2024-07-13 12:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Multiple Locations
No matter where you live, NBCB is your community boathouse!
The Public Paddle Series lets us do what we do best: fulfill our mission to enable access to the waterways of New York City for our local community.
Our Public Paddles occur during our regular season (June-Sept), and happen twice a month, alternating between our 29-foot Langley canoes, and our fleet of sit-on-top kayaks. Trained ACA trip leaders will guide participants down Newtown Creek, and often out toward the East River. There’s an opportunity to pause to take photos, and enjoy the views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. These trips run between 20-30 minutes throughout the day.
Paddling is free! Our public paddles are child friendly, but there is a minimum height requirement of 4’10” on kayak trips in order to ensure the boat will remain balanced.
Canoe Public Paddles take place at Manhattan Avenue Street End Park, while Kayak Public Paddles take place across the creek at Queens Landing Boathouse and Environmental Center.
It is recommended to check the NBCB website and social media accounts in the morning in case of an inclement weather cancelation.
Public paddles are free and open to everyone. We welcome all our neighbors and members of other community organizations. Together, let’s learn more about Greenpoint’s history, environmental challenges and successes, and residents. Get out on the water and see the neighborhood as you never have before!
Got it? We can’t wait to see you! Blue skies, full boats–can’t lose!
NBCB sincerely thanks the Greenpoint Community Environment Fund and the Office of the New York State Attorney General and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for financial support for our Public Paddle series.

For the chance to enjoy The Hill in New York, click here to enter the online ballot by Thursday 4 July. Successful applicants will be notified on Friday 5 July. There will be limited walk-in spots available for those who are not successful in the online ballot

The world’s oldest tennis event, The Championships, Wimbledon, will be returning stateside for the third successive year, staging The Hill in New York from Friday 12 to Sunday 14 July.
The event will see Wimbledon taking over Empire Fulton Ferry beside a nine-acre area of Brooklyn Bridge Park to recreate its iconic ‘Hill’, the famous vantage point for fans to gather and enjoy tennis on the big screen. With sweeping views over Manhattan and live tennis on show, fans in New York will be able to enjoy a quintessential Wimbledon experience from afar.
Following the event’s popularity during its first two editions, The Hill in New York will be relocating to a bigger venue on the banks of the East River in the heart of the city’s popular Dumbo neighbourhood, doubling capacity to 3,500 on each of the days. Entry to The Hill in New York will be free, with fans able to secure tickets through an online ballot, now open here, which closes on Thursday 4 July.
As well as the change of location, the All England Club has announced it will be updating the format of the event, with an intimate free performance on the evening of Friday 12 July by a global celebrity talent, who will be revealed on Tuesday 11 June.
Following the Friday night performance, The Hill in New York will be open from 8.30am on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 July for those who have secured their ticket via the ballot and a limited number of walk-ins.
Guests will be greeted by Wimbledon stewards and invited to immerse themselves in the quintessential experience of British tradition and fare, with iconic strawberries & cream and Pimm’s served at the Wimbledon garden bar. Wimbledon picnics will also be available to purchase ahead of the event to enjoy on the day. The Wimbledon Shop will also return this year, which houses Wimbledon’s exclusive clothing line designed onsite and, outside of The Championships, is only available online for US shoppers.
Large screens will show live tennis action from Centre Court, including the provisionally scheduled ladies’ singles and gentlemen’s doubles finals on Saturday, and gentlemen’s singles and ladies’ doubles finals on Sunday, in an atmosphere similar to the Hill at SW19. Once live play has concluded, there will be sunset screenings of notable Wimbledon matches between tennis legends.
