Can anyone tell me what the situation is now for parking at Breezy Point? We
used to park at the fishermen’s lot which was legal in winter, but I seem to
remember some change in that policy.
Thank you,

Question. Why does eBird allow reports of captive/domestic birds to be
reported? I don't get that. I was shown by a friend a report of a dozen or so
Barnacle Geese seen at the Bronx Zoo which are obviously not wild birds. Why
would someone report that in the first place and why would eBird

This is part of Gateway National Recreation Area, it should be accessible
to all. It's not like there's a bus that goes there either. I bike there
sometimes but I realize that's not an option for everyone. I know some
birding groups are working on this but it never hurts to write to Gateway
The federal government repeatedly has cut budgets for park and
recreation areas over the past 20 years. At this point our tax dollars
actually do not cover even a bare bones budges for these areas and fees
for parking and other services are an increasingly important part of
their budgets.
Where is there parking for handicapped hang tags?

Gordon just got back to me. Yes, they changed the rules this year, and you
need the permit. Audubon, Linnaean and other groups are fighting this
unjust regulation. Gordon doubts the new rule can be changed this season.
It also applies to the fisherman`s lot at the hotel area, part of Fort
Tilden.
We should support Audubon, Linnaean etc in their process to change the
permit parameters. It is not all that easy to buy a fishing permit, so I
have been told. I had considered buying one. I would like to know how our
supportive organizations are working on this problem. We do pay taxes. I

When I went recently we parked at Fort Tilden and then took a Lyft over to the
Fisherman's Lot at Breezy. You can also take the Q35 bus until just over the
Marine Pkwy Bridge and take an Uber or Lyft from there.
I agree with Stanley though that a national park is supposed to be accessible

I know that there is a discussion with State parks to create a birders
permit, perhaps that can also be proposed if they don't want to have

I looked into it a little more, and one problem is that even though I’m willing
to buy a permit, there is no plan nor projected date for when they will start
selling the 2022 permit, even though the permit season starts February 1. The
only people who can park legally in the meantime are
Jack, it’s a special fishing access permit issued by Gateway National
Recreation Area that’s required.
