Stop by the Coney Island History Project's table to learn about our programs and pick up a free copy of the Coney Island CreekWalk at Calvert Vaux booklet and a brochure about the CreekWalk at Kaiser Park produced by the History Project for Partnerships for Parks. We'll have bilingual interviewers in attendance to record your stories about the neighborhood and the Creek for our Oral History Archive. Visitors may also take a self-guided walking tour by following the markers created by Charles Denson of the Coney Island History Project for CreekWalk at Kaiser Park.

Featuring over 40 partner organizations, this annual community event is organized by the Cultural Research Divers, BMSEA (Brooklyn Marine STEM Education Alliance), and NYSMEA (NY State Marine Education Association), and hosted by Making Waves, a coalition of stewards caring for Coney Island Creek and Kaiser Park.
