Park Drive Repaving: Starting Wednesday, March 15, the Park Drive will be repaved in phases from Park Circle to Grand Army Plaza on weeknight overnight hours (8 pm-4 am). Portions of the Park Drive will have a rough surface on some weekdays: cyclists are advised to take alternate routes, including along protected bicycle lanes along the Parkside Avenue, Flatbush Avenue and Prospect Park West perimeters. Visit the NYCDOT website for updates.
It’s an explosion of Island Culture every weekend in August in preparation for Brooklyn’s own West Indian Carnival. The Zoo’s sea lions will “samba” to steel pan and calypso music at their training sessions (you can join too!), we’ll have, carnival-inspired crafts and, of course, opportunities to learn about island wildlife and the work of the Wildlife Conservation Society in those special places.
