Building of the Day: Idlewild Park Salt Marsh Learning Center

Designed for the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Idlewild Park Salt Marsh Environmental Science Learning Center offers classroom and exhibit space in the Idlewild Park Saltwater Marsh in Queens. By its location and form, the building tells the story of water in our urban habitat, and acts like a porch to the wetland landscape beyond. Classrooms, an exhibit hall, and the entry space all frame the views around the site.

Please note: this tour is accessible by wheelchair.
