This City of Water Day, join the Alliance for Flushing Meadows Corona Park (FMCP) and the Waterfront Alliance for a special Daylighting Tour of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park as part of the FMCP Resiliency Study—a visionary initiative to restore natural waterways, enhance climate resilience, and reimagine the park’s ecological future. This guided walking tour around the historic core, from the Tide Gate Bridge to the Fountain of the Planets, will uncover the park’s hidden streams and explore how daylighting—bringing buried waterways back to the surface—can transform urban landscapes, support biodiversity, and protect communities from flooding. Learn how this work fits into a broader strategy to make FMCP a model for sustainable, climate-ready parks across NYC.
This program is part of City of Water Day, a region-wide day of free, family-friendly events on or near the water organized by Waterfront Alliance and New York-New Jersey Harbor and Estuary Program. City of Water Day celebrates a resilient and equitably shared waterfront and promotes unity in the face of climate change.
