Battery Park City Parks Conservancy offers public programs and events for almost everyone. From May through October we sponsor music, dancing and storytelling, fishing days, bird watching and garden tours, art for all ages, sports, games and play programs. Our diverse programs aim to connect people with the parks as well as with each other. Everyone is encouraged to participate. All supplies are provided.

Some programs require a fee to participate. Please see the listings for specifics. Fees are collected to help offset the expense of materials and expert presenters. We take pride in the quality of every program and event. We appreciate your generosity and support in helping Battery Park City Parks Conservancy provide leisure time activities that are valuable, engaging and welcoming to all.

BPCPC programs aim to connect people with the parks as well as with each other. We encourage everyone to participate, regardless of age, gender, experience, or skill.
