We will be meeting @ Jacob Riis Park in Rockaway Queens @ 10:30am on July 27th, 2002. There is also a little private parking area that we can use but I'm not sure if there is a fee for that parking area or if we would want to use it (I think it can only hold about 10-15 cars). There is a fee for the main parking area which comes up to
$3.25. Parking lot is
HUGE so that's good plus for a major turn out.
I was trying to get the BBQ area reserved, but they told me it's a first come first serve deal on the grills. I also recomend that people bring there own grills just in case. The beach and board walk is right there and there are also basketball courts (for those of you that want to get your asses bust), a golf course, a public pool, softball, baseball, football, rugby, paddleball and handball ect. Great scenic area with many places for photo.
