Big City Fishing

This summer, join us to make a fish wish—you might just get a bite!

Please note: Due to forecasted inclement weather Saturday, July 13, please check our Twitter @hudsonriverpark for the status of this program. In the event that this event is canceled, please join us at the Pier 57 Discovery Tank or the Pier 40 Wetlab to learn more about local wildlife in the Hudson River.

Over 200 species of fish are found in the Hudson River, including over 85 species in HRPK’s Estuarine Sanctuary waters. Anglers ages 5 and up are invited to participate at this program, with parental supervision required. Our River Project team provides all the necessary equipment and an on-site fishing tutorial.

Registration is not required, and participation is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Beginners and experts alike are encouraged to join Big City Fishing for a relaxing and educational experience at the water’s edge.

Hudson River Park is not part of NYC Parks, and we rely on private funds for our free programs, maintenance and operations. That means your donations are essential to ensuring our event season remains free for the public. Show your support today.
