Lemon Creek Park

Welcome to Lemon Creek Park! We will explore both the beach nearby and Lemon Creek itself Depending on the time of year, several different unique species make this place their home. There are also several human made structures and histories that we will examine. It’s all part of what makes Lemon Creek so special.



Raritan Bay may not seem that ‘wild’ since it is surrounded by homes and other buildings. However, many interesting creatures can be found swimming in that water if you take a boat to the deeper areas of the bay.

If we turn from the beach and walk through the trees back to the field that was built by the NYC Parks Department, we see, in the distance a collection of various birdhouses. They have been set up for a very interesting kind of bird!

Next, let's learn about how humans and nature have worked together here at Lemon Creek.
