I received a gift card with the express intent of renting a kayak at this site, as I'm interested in the bird preserve. We live in western queens and it's a one hour, 50 minute commute there. Last time we tried to use it, we called ahead to ensure they were renting kayaks. They assured us that they were (it seems our call went to a call center). We arrived and no kayaks. That was four hours wasted. Tried calling again to ensure that there was kayaking available. We were assured their was, but that there are only TWO, and that it was first come, first served. I asked if there was any way to make a reservation, but no. We were supposed to try again, with a high probability of wasting four more hours of my life. We were told to go to flushing meadow if we wanted to kayak. That's what we did last time we were lied to. It was silly and the pond is obviously quite small and easily exhausted. My interest was this location because it is adjacent to Jamaica Bay. I'm really disappointed, as there's no way I want to waste another four hours. I wish u could get my money back from this terrible company and use it toward a good experience.

They only have single kayaks although they had doubles last year. Carrying those heavy kayaks to the shore was more of hassle than enjoying it on the water.

Sign clearly says can rent bikes for half or full day. Employee tells me I can only rent for an hour, when there’s literally no one else here!
Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
Yes they are open today
Yes there are but only single kayaks. I think you have to be 18+ and provide ID for everyone. Keep in mind tho they ask you to carry the kayaks to shore and bring them back. They’re pretty heavy honestly.
Supposed to be open Monday to Friday 10 am to sunset but only for bicycles
