Water sports concessions come to Jamaica Bay in Canarsie and Marine Park
Now residents of southern Brooklyn don’t have to trek up to Brooklyn Bridge Park, Red Hook and Williamsburg for recreational water sports. This summer, water concessions are making a splash at parks and beaches all around the Jamaica Bay wetlands.
Arriving in June, the rental booths for kayaks, canoes, bikes, and paddle-boards are available all year at locations throughout Brooklyn’s Marine Park, Floyd Bennett Field, Plumb Beach, and Canarsie Pier, as well as the Rockaways and Queens’ Jacob Riis Beach and Riis Landing.
Riders and rowers can rent rides such as a Single Surrey (2 adults and 2 small children for $25/hour) or a Double Surrey (6 adults and 3 small children for $35/hour); and Cruiser Bikes, City Bikes, Tandem Bikes, Kids Bikes, Tag-a-longs, Boogie Boards, Beach Chairs, Beach Umbrellas, Sand Toys and more by the hour, half-day (4 hours), and Full Day (8 hours).
