Join us for Morning Meditation on the Waterfront hosted by Hunter’s Point Parks Conservancy in partnership with Meditation in Queens.

Our root mind is naturally light, boundless and deeply peaceful. We imagine our mind is like the vast, clear blue sky and the mental busyness and painful emotions we experience are like clouds. Through training our mind, we allow these clouds to dissolve, revealing the boundless potential within. In just 30 minutes of meditation, we can shape the flow of our entire day. By connecting to our clear sky-link mind and intentionally cultivating inner peace, we can access the best of ourselves and learn to live from this place. While the meditations we offer are Buddhist, they appeal to anyone seeking to cultivate a deeper state of inner peace and authentic happiness. After the guided meditation, we will have 15 minutes for Q&A and community time.

Meditation Teacher: Henry Green

Location: Hunter’s Point South Park (map). Entrance to Luminescence peninsula is located at Center Blvd between 54th and 55th Avenues.

No previous experience is necessary.

Please bring a blanket or mat for sitting meditation.

Everyone Welcome.

Discover the hidden beauty of the natural world with Hunters Point Park Conservancy’s macro- and microscopes. Each session begins with a peek into the fascinating history of the microscope, plus a hands-on introduction to using them. Then, enjoy 90 minutes of creative exploration as you capture your observations in a nature journal using colored pencils, watercolors, and ink.

Guided by scientific illustrator and watercolorist Monica Schroeder, this adult art class blends science and creativity. Along the way, we’ll explore color theory, light and shadow, and how to communicate scientific information through illustration.

Every session highlights a different theme from the rich biodiversity of Hunters Point Park:

• Insects & Microfauna – insects, water bears, and more

• Marine Life – zooplankton, snails, shells, and aquatic wonders

• Botanical Treasures – seeds, pollen, and plant structures

You can register on our Eventbrite.

The Conservancy’s first ever free event in the Hunter’s Point South Park was a 2014 screening of Julie & Julia and since then our CinemaLIC movie series has become a flagship program. These movie nights bring out hundreds of people of all ages to the park. Each year we show five family-friendly movies on the large inflatable screen, with the NYC skyline as a backdrop.

We'll be showing Lilo & Stitch on September 12, sponsored by Shibley Day Camp.

All movies start at sunset. Bring your blankets early to get a good spot, as last year several of the movie nights brought out over 1,000 people.

Volunteers will meet by the Park House, near Center Blvd. & Borden Ave.
