Shirley Chisholm State Park, State park in Spring Creek Brooklyn, US.
Covering 407 acres, the park features 10 miles of trails, wetlands, woodlands, and waterfront access points along Jamaica Bay.
The land transformed from two municipal landfills that operated until 1983 into a public park, opening in July 2019 after environmental rehabilitation.
The park commemorates Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman in Congress, through educational programs and a dedicated mural by artist Danielle Mastrion.
The park maintains operating hours from 8:00 AM until dusk, offering free fishing clinics at Penn Pier and bicycle borrowing services.
Rising 140 feet above sea level, the park contains specifically engineered terrain to withstand strong winds from Jamaica Bay estuary.
