Flushing Creek Daylighting Tour

  • Saturday, November 8, 2025
  • 10:00 AM 1:00 PM

Explore Flushing Creek’s past, present, and future with artists Catherine Grau and Nadia Misir!

Daylighting Flushing Creek: Messages from the Water as an Act of Mutual Care is a walking tour that explores the path of the creek, its ecological importance, the issue of flooding in Flushing Meadows Corona Park and our neighborhoods, and plans to restore the creek’s natural flow through daylighting.

We'll stop at different points along the way for interactive activities connecting folks to Flushing Creek, and collecting messages that explore what caring for a future daylit creek might look like.

Location: Meet at David Dinkins Circle.

Participants ages 12+ are welcome. Please note that those under the age of 16 must be companied by a parent or guardian.

Tools and supplies will be provided. Remember to bring water and dress for the weather. Close-toed shoes are required and we recommend wearing ones you won’t mind getting wet or muddy.
