Gateway National Recreation Area

National Park News

A PBS documentary entitled “Treasures of the Harbor,” which will focus on Gateway NRA’s units around New York Harbor, will be broadcast at 8 p.m. on Thursday.

Among other park features, the film will have segments on:

  • Ruffle Bar, a tiny island in Jamaica Bay that is now a wildlife refuge
  • A group of young people camping out at Floyd Bennett Field – their very first camping trip
  • Flights from the same airfield made by Wiley Post, Amelia Earhart and Howard Hughes
  • The largest community garden in the city, also at Floyd Bennett Field
  • Staten Island’s Fort Wadsworth, one of the country’s oldest military sites
