GUIDED TOURS AND LIMITED ACCESS RECREATION AT
JEROME PARK RESERVOIR POSTPONED DUE TO THE
THREAT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) today announced that due to the potential for inclement weather this weekend, the special guided tours and limited access recreation planned at Jerome Park Reservoir have been postponed until the weekend of November 14th and 15th. As was originally planned, there will be two ticketed tours on each day, followed by a non-ticketed opportunity for the public to walk or jog around the 2-mile perimeter of the Reservoir. Entry will be through a Gate House located on the west side of Goulden Avenue, just south of 205th Street and phones, bags and cameras will not be permitted on the Reservoir grounds. There will be an opportunity to check phones, but visitors should not bring bags or cameras. All individuals who had registered for the tours scheduled for October 3rd and 4th will be contacted by DEP and given the first opportunity for tickets to the November 14th and 15th tours. To the extent any tickets remain after that, DEP will make them available on a first-come, first-served basis. More information will be made available about any remaining tickets on the DEP website and Facebook page.

Guided Tours (tickets required)
10:00am – 11:00am
11:00am – 12:00pm
Limited Access Recreation (tickets not required)
