Подразделение Службы национальных парков в Нью-Йорке и Нью-Джерси, США.
National Park Service unit in New York and New Jersey, United States
Национальная зона отдыха "Гейтвей" – национальная зона отдыха США, расположенная в Нью-Йорке и округе Монмут, штат Нью-Джерси. Она предлагает возможности для отдыха, которые редко встречаются в условиях плотной городской застройки, включая купание в океане, наблюдение за птицами, катание на лодках, пешие походы и кемпинг. В 2022 году Национальную зону отдыха "Гейтвей" посетили более 8,7 миллиона человек, что делает её четвёртым по посещаемости подразделением Службы национальных парков. "Гейтвей" была создана Конгрессом США в 1972 году для сохранения и защиты редких или уникальных природных, культурных и рекреационных ресурсов, к которым относительно легко получить доступ значительной части населения страны. Она находится в федеральной собственности и управляется Службой национальных парков.
Gateway National Recreation Area is a U. S. National Recreation Area in New York City and Monmouth County, New Jersey. It provides recreational opportunities that are not commonly found in a dense urban environment, including ocean swimming, bird watching, boating, hiking and camping. More than 8.7 million people visited Gateway National Recreation Area in 2022, making it the fourth most visited unit of the National Park Service. Gateway was created by the U. S. Congress in 1972 to preserve and protect scarce or unique natural, cultural, and recreational resources with relatively convenient access by a high percentage of the nation's population. It is owned by the federal government and managed by the National Park Service.
Создание
В 1969 году Ассоциация регионального планирования предложила создать новый национальный морской берег в районе Нью-Йорка, который должен был находиться в ведении Министерства внутренних дел США. Президент США Ричард Никсон поддержал очень похожее предложение в 1970 году, с одним существенным изменением: вместо обозначения как "морской берег", охраняемая территория должна была стать национальным парком. В мае того же года президент начал процесс получения одобрения Конгресса для этого. Палата представителей Соединенных Штатов одобрила создание Национальной зоны отдыха "Гейтвей" в сентябре 1972 года, и большая часть земли была передана Службе национальных парков (NPS) для включения в состав Национальной зоны отдыха "Гейтвей". При том же голосовании Палата представителей отклонила предложение штата о создании жилого комплекса на территории аэродрома Флойда Беннетта, которая должна была стать частью зоны "Гейтвей". Национальная зона отдыха "Гейтвей" была официально создана 27 октября 1972 года вместе с Национальной зоной отдыха "Золотые ворота" в Сан-Франциско. "Гейтвей" включала в себя более [укажите площадь] земли. Это исключало часть территорий, предложенных Ассоциацией регионального планирования, включая береговую линию Кони-Айленда.
In 1969, the Regional Plan Association proposed a new national seashore in the New York metropolitan area, to be administered by the United States Department of the Interior. U. S. President Richard Nixon put his support behind a very similar proposal in 1970, with one significant change: instead of being designated a "seashore", the protected area would be a national park. In May of that year, the president started the process of getting Congressional approval for this move. The United States House of Representatives approved the creation of Gateway National Recreation Area in September 1972, and most of the land was transferred to the National Park Service (NPS) for inclusion in Gateway National Recreation Area. In the same vote, the House denied the state's provision to create a housing development at Floyd Bennett Field, which was to be part of the Gateway Area. Gateway National Recreation Area was officially created on October 27, 1972, along with Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco. Gateway included over of land. This excluded some of the land proposed by the RPA, including the Coney Island shore.
Единицы и парки
Зона отдыха состоит из трех участков и в общей сложности 11 парковых зон. Основное обеспечение правопорядка в Национальной зоне отдыха "Гейтвей" возложено на полицию парков Соединенных Штатов в нью-йоркских участках и рейнджеров Службы национальных парков в участке Нью-Джерси.
The recreation area comprises three units and 11 park sites in all. Primary law enforcement in the Gateway National Recreation Area is the responsibility of the United States Park Police in the New York units, and National Park Service Rangers in the New Jersey unit.
Ямайский залив
Ямайский залив в Бруклине и Квинсе включает большую часть береговой линии и акватории ниже Шор-Парквей, начиная от Плам-Бич и заканчивая международным аэропортом имени Джона Ф. Кеннеди, а также несколько десятков островов в заливе Ямайка – приливном устье. Он также включает большую часть западной части полуострова Роккавей, отделяющего Ямайский залив от Атлантического океана. Среди объектов в составе этого подразделения:
Jamaica Bay Unit, in Brooklyn and Queens, includes much of the shoreline and water below the Shore Parkway beginning at Plum Beach and ending at John F. Kennedy International Airport, along with several dozen islands in Jamaica Bay, a tidal estuary. It also includes most of the western part of the Rockaway Peninsula, which separates Jamaica Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. Among the sites in this unit are:
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is a prime location for viewing birds and bird migrations, diamondback turtle egg laying and horseshoe crab mating and egg laying. Its are mostly open water, but includes upland shoreline and islands with salt marsh, dunes, brackish ponds, woodland, and fields. It is the only "wildlife refuge" in the National Park System. Originally created and managed by New York City as a "wildlife refuge", the term was retained by Gateway when the site was transferred. All other federally managed areas titled "wildlife refuge" are managed by the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service under their own specific criteria and standards. Shirley Chisholm State Park is a park built on top of the former Pennsylvania Ave landfill along the belt parkway in the north of the bay. The park is operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, but the land is owned by the National Park Service and is leased to the state for a 60 year period. The park represents an innovative step in landfill remediation and redevelopment, and has cost $20 million as of 2019 to develop. The park features bike paths, free bike rentals, kayaking, fishing, and walking trails. The first phase of the park was opened in July 2019, and the second half was completed in 2021. Floyd Bennett Field, a decommissioned airfield with a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places, also hosts the Historic Aircraft Restoration Project (H. A. R. P.) in Hangar B where volunteers are working to preserve the park's collection of historic aircraft. Hangar B is open to the public at selected times during the week. Exhibits and programs on the airfield's history are available in the former control tower and terminal, since converted into the Ryan Visitor Center, named for William Fitts Ryan, the congressman who championed Gateway's creation. The former airfield also accommodates public camping, with 46 campsites. As of August 2013, Floyd Bennett Field campground provides hot showers and clean modern bathrooms. There is also a camp store. No electricity provided. Still, it is the only public campground maintained by the National Park Service that is within the limits of an American city, and the only legal campground in New York City. Floyd Bennett Field also includes concession recreational facilities including a sports arena and ice skating rinks in adaptively re used hangars. Within this unit, but still nearby, are Dead Horse Bay, which includes a marina concession, and an adjacent golf driving range concession. Bergen Beach, on the north shore of Jamaica Bay, is also nearby and within the unit's boundary, supporting a horse riding academy concession. Canarsie Pier is the latest in a series of recreational piers near this location, and remains popular as a picnic area and fishing spot on the north shore of the bay. Fort Tilden, between Jacob Riis Park and Breezy Point on the Rockaway peninsula, has some of the city's most pristine and secluded ocean beaches, a successional maritime forest, a coastal dune system, and a freshwater pond. Between 1917 and 1974, Fort Tilden served as part of the harbor's system of defenses, and once housed Nike antiaircraft missiles. Today an observatory deck on one of the old batteries has views of Jamaica Bay, New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline. Fort Tilden is one of the best places on New York Harbor to observe hawks during the fall migration. Breezy Point Tip occupies the westernmost part of the Rockaway peninsula, forming one side of the outer "gateway" to New York Harbor. Its contain oceanfront beach, bay shoreline, dunes, marshes and coastal grasslands. Breezy Point Tip is a nesting area for the threatened piping plover. Jacob Riis Park is an ocean beach with a boardwalk and historic bathhouse with art deco elements. It was built by powerful New York planner and administrator Robert Moses, and was named after journalist, photographer and reformer Jacob Riis.

Убежище дикой природы Ямайской бухты – прекрасное место для наблюдения за птицами и их миграциями, кладкой яиц алмазной черепахи и спариванием и кладкой яиц крабов-подков. Оно в основном представлено открытой водой, но включает в себя прибрежную полосу суши и острова с солеными болотами, дюнами, солончаковыми прудами, лесами и полями. Это единственное «убежище дикой природы» в системе национальных парков. Изначально созданное и управляемое городом Нью-Йорк как «убежище дикой природы», это название было сохранено Gateway при передаче объекта. Все остальные федеральные территории, именуемые «убежище дикой природы», управляются Службой охраны рыбных ресурсов и дикой природы США в соответствии со своими собственными критериями и стандартами.

Аэродром Флойд Беннетт, недействующий аэродром с историческим районом, включенным в Национальный реестр исторических мест, также является площадкой для проекта восстановления исторических самолетов (H.A.R.P.) в ангаре B, где волонтеры работают над сохранением коллекции исторических самолетов парка. Ангар B открыт для публики в определенные дни недели. Экспонаты и программы, посвященные истории аэродрома, представлены в бывшей диспетчерской вышке и терминале, которые теперь преобразованы в Центр для посетителей Райана, названный в честь Уильяма Фитца Райана, конгрессмена, который активно выступал за создание Gateway. На территории бывшего аэродрома также есть общественная стоянка для кемпинга с 46 местами. По состоянию на август 2013 года на кемпинге Флойд Беннетт Филд есть горячий душ и чистые современные туалеты, а также магазин. Электричество не предусмотрено. Тем не менее, это единственная общественная стоянка, обслуживаемая Службой национальных парков, расположенная в пределах американского города, и единственная легальная стоянка в Нью-Йорке. Floyd Bennett Field также включает в себя концессионные рекреационные объекты, такие как спортивная арена и катки в реконструированных ангарах.

Fort Tilden, between Jacob Riis Park and Breezy Point on the Rockaway peninsula, has some of the city's most pristine and secluded ocean beaches, a successional maritime forest, a coastal dune system, and a freshwater pond. Between 1917 and 1974, Fort Tilden served as part of the harbor's system of defenses, and once housed Nike antiaircraft missiles. Today an observatory deck on one of the old batteries has views of Jamaica Bay, New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline. Fort Tilden is one of the best places on New York Harbor to observe hawks during the fall migration. Breezy Point Tip occupies the westernmost part of the Rockaway peninsula, forming one side of the outer "gateway" to New York Harbor.

Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is a prime location for viewing birds and bird migrations, diamondback turtle egg laying and horseshoe crab mating and egg laying. Its are mostly open water, but includes upland shoreline and islands with salt marsh, dunes, brackish ponds, woodland, and fields. It is the only "wildlife refuge" in the National Park System. Originally created and managed by New York City as a "wildlife refuge", the term was retained by Gateway when the site was transferred. All other federally managed areas titled "wildlife refuge" are managed by the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service under their own specific criteria and standards. Shirley Chisholm State Park is a park built on top of the former Pennsylvania Ave landfill along the belt parkway in the north of the bay. The park is operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, but the land is owned by the National Park Service and is leased to the state for a 60 year period. The park represents an innovative step in landfill remediation and redevelopment, and has cost $20 million as of 2019 to develop. The park features bike paths, free bike rentals, kayaking, fishing, and walking trails. The first phase of the park was opened in July 2019, and the second half was completed in 2021. Floyd Bennett Field, a decommissioned airfield with a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places, also hosts the Historic Aircraft Restoration Project (H. A. R. P.) in Hangar B where volunteers are working to preserve the park's collection of historic aircraft. Hangar B is open to the public at selected times during the week. Exhibits and programs on the airfield's history are available in the former control tower and terminal, since converted into the Ryan Visitor Center, named for William Fitts Ryan, the congressman who championed Gateway's creation. The former airfield also accommodates public camping, with 46 campsites. As of August 2013, Floyd Bennett Field campground provides hot showers and clean modern bathrooms. There is also a camp store.

All other federally managed areas titled "wildlife refuge" are managed by the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service under their own specific criteria and standards. Shirley Chisholm State Park is a park built on top of the former Pennsylvania Ave landfill along the belt parkway in the north of the bay. The park is operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, but the land is owned by the National Park Service and is leased to the state for a 60 year period. The park represents an innovative step in landfill remediation and redevelopment, and has cost $20 million as of 2019 to develop. The park features bike paths, free bike rentals, kayaking, fishing, and walking trails. The first phase of the park was opened in July 2019, and the second half was completed in 2021. Floyd Bennett Field, a decommissioned airfield with a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places, also hosts the Historic Aircraft Restoration Project (H. A. R. P.) in Hangar B where volunteers are working to preserve the park's collection of historic aircraft. Hangar B is open to the public at selected times during the week. Exhibits and programs on the airfield's history are available in the former control tower and terminal, since converted into the Ryan Visitor Center, named for William Fitts Ryan, the congressman who championed Gateway's creation. The former airfield also accommodates public camping, with 46 campsites. As of August 2013, Floyd Bennett Field campground provides hot showers and clean modern bathrooms. There is also a camp store. No electricity provided. Still, it is the only public campground maintained by the National Park Service that is within the limits of an American city, and the only legal campground in New York City. Floyd Bennett Field also includes concession recreational facilities including a sports arena and ice skating rinks in adaptively re used hangars. Within this unit, but still nearby, are Dead Horse Bay, which includes a marina concession, and an adjacent golf driving range concession. Bergen Beach, on the north shore of Jamaica Bay, is also nearby and within the unit's boundary, supporting a horse riding academy concession. Canarsie Pier is the latest in a series of recreational piers near this location, and remains popular as a picnic area and fishing spot on the north shore of the bay. Fort Tilden, between Jacob Riis Park and Breezy Point on the Rockaway peninsula, has some of the city's most pristine and secluded ocean beaches, a successional maritime forest, a coastal dune system, and a freshwater pond. Between 1917 and 1974, Fort Tilden served as part of the harbor's system of defenses, and once housed Nike antiaircraft missiles. Today an observatory deck on one of the old batteries has views of Jamaica Bay, New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline. Fort Tilden is one of the best places on New York Harbor to observe hawks during the fall migration. Breezy Point Tip occupies the westernmost part of the Rockaway peninsula, forming one side of the outer "gateway" to New York Harbor. Its contain oceanfront beach, bay shoreline, dunes, marshes and coastal grasslands. Breezy Point Tip is a nesting area for the threatened piping plover. Jacob Riis Park is an ocean beach with a boardwalk and historic bathhouse with art deco elements. It was built by powerful New York planner and administrator Robert Moses, and was named after journalist, photographer and reformer Jacob Riis.
