Centro ricreativo | Luoghi dentro New York, stati Uniti

Free kayaking in NYC during the summer. Come in, sign the waiver, they offer you a key for the locker, get a life vest, get your paddle (make sure you don't hit people with your paddle), then off you go to the line for safety instructions. All volunteers are very nice and trained. Please follow the rules for your safety and follow directions by the volunteer. There is also a donation box if you want to donate. They also provide sunscreen, the station is next to the paddles station. Shower pole to rinse off too. You can sign up to volunteer too during your free time. There is a volunteer training session. They do this every summer and make sure to check their website for the location. They have several locations for free kayaking. There is public restroom at pier 25.
Come out and have fun in the water!!!
One more thing, YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO SWIM !!!

Nice spot had a great camp in there over the weekend

The free kayaking experience that they offer during summer was so fun! Me and my friends came on a Tuesday, 30 minutes after they opened. It took almost an hour from when we lined up until we started kayaking. However, we didn't feel that the wait was long since the line kept on moving and there are things to do. The first thing would be to sign a waiver. They will also offer a lock and key for a locker so you can put your belongings. There are 2 changing rooms next to the locker. Next, you pick up a paddle and a life jacket. Then you line up to get a kayak. They have plenty of kayak, so the line moved pretty quickly. After they give us quick instruction on how to kayak, we got around 20 minutes to play. You can either do solo or pair up with someone else. The staff, which I believe are volunteers, were helpful and friendly. I had a great experience and would do it again! Just remember to stay within the boundary. No paddling to New Jersey!
