Other Brooklyn Parks

The Urban Park Rangers would like to remind you that nature supplies our urban animals with all they need for winter survival including food and shelter.
Animals are incredible for adapting to their environment and have survived many winters without our help. Please do not feed the animals! Keep in mind that it is against Park Rules and Regulations and you can be fined.
Did you know that birds migrate primarily for food? And thus, feeding them can disrupt their migration patterns. Contrary to popular belief, bread is not healthy to feed our feathered friends, and left on the ground contributes to the rodent population.
