Share your thoughts on the future of Floyd Bennett Field in this interactive community event!

Activating Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field as a hub for education, recreation, workforce development, sustainability, research, and innovation presents unparalleled opportunities for the communities of Jamaica Bay, Central Brooklyn, and Southwest Queens. In addition to open space and recreational amenities, we imagine a future Floyd Bennett Field that provides community-members with burgeoning “green jobs” and related training opportunities; connects with nearby cultural and historic resources; and engages local stakeholders in the development of new opportunities and improved park amenities.

The Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy (JBRPC) and the CUNY Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica Bay (SRIJB) are working with the National Park Service (NPS) at Gateway National Recreation Area to rehabilitate and adaptively reuse two historic structures within “Hangar Row'' along Flatbush Avenue: Building 26 and Hangars 3 & 4. Before commencing this work, we would like to understand what building uses best serve local community members in order to guide program development for the buildings and adjacent areas. This spring, JBRPC and SRIJB invite you to participate in our community outreach campaign as we gather feedback that will help us activate Floyd Bennett Field for public benefit.

JBRPC is grateful for the support of Councilmember Mercedes Narcisse, Assemblymember Jaime Williams, and Senator Roxanne Persaud in organizing this event.

This event is free and open to all community members. Please register for admission to the Brooklyn College Student Center for this event. Refreshments and children's activities will be provided.
