Arverne East Nature Preserve

"I've ridden my bike here from Prospect Park several times since I discovered it a couple of months ago. I love this park and all the smooth, winding paths. It looks beautiful now that all the plants have really filled in. There's also really nice facilities on-site. Clean bathrooms, plenty of sinks and water fountains."

"Needs a lot of work. They removed most of the trash. Added pathways and signage from 56th Street up to 44th Street. On 43rd and 42nd St there is a ton of trash that still needs to be removed. A stove, mattress, citi bikes and miscellaneous rubbish strewn all over. I’ll take pics when I ride by again."

"At Beach 44th street the NYC Parks Department has a nice little spot with a parking lot. It includes a long ramp making it accessible for strollers, and wheelchairs. Bicycle racks and benches are available outside. Huge solar panels assembly on the roof. Inside has some needed shade for those hot days. Water fountains, unisex restroom, hand washing stations, and bench are inside. Offices make up the perimeter and what may become a meeting/community space. Can't wait to see what it looks like when the green grass grows. With a lot of space surrounding the area, It looks like there will be more development in the future within the gated areas."

"Enjoyed the nature preserve over here B43rd - B56th. Great for birding"

"I don't think they are finish with the interior? I was just checking on what's going on around the location. It's going to take a while to elevate that location."
