Historic New York: Ridgewood Reservoir

Saturday, May 24, 2025

10:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.

Join NYC's Urban Park Rangers for a walk at the Ridgewood Reservoir highlighting the history, ecology and engineering of this cultural treasure. The Ridgewood Reservoir in Highland Park is a 50+ acre natural oasis that straddles the border of Brooklyn and Queens. It also lends itself to a great spot during peak migration to look for migratory birds that stop by the reservoir.
