Starting this Saturday, head to Prospect Park with your junior anglers for an expanded fishing program, which runs on Saturdays in July and August at 1pm and 3pm:
The decades-old Macy’s Fishing Contest at Prospect Park has become the new and improved Macy’s Fishing Clinics! This exciting, free program offers kids quality fishing instruction and an introduction to aquatic ecology. Children 15 and under, accompanied by parent/guardian, will learn about recreational fishing, fishing safety, and fish-friendly techniques, all while casting their lines on a spectacular summer day in the Park!
Meet at the Audubon Center. Call (718) 287-3400, ext. 303 for details. The Audubon Center at the Boathouse is located just inside the Lincoln Road/Ocean Ave. entrance to the Park.
Please note: All fishing at Prospect Park is "catch and release" only. Once a fish is caught, it must be removed from the hook and returned to the water. The use of barbed hooks is prohibited by New York State Law. For detailed fishing guidelines, please see our web site.
