Now here is some very exciting news from Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar; the department has
committed to turning Floyd Bennett Field into a camper's paradise. The total complex of over 1,300 acres will have 90 prime camping sites within the next two years with 600 more to follow. He made this great
announcement from Gracie Mansion.
Currently the facility is terribly under utilized with only police helicopters using the grounds. In years past this great airfield was used by the likes of Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes. This was the very first municipal airfield for New York City and was designed by Clarence D.
Chamberlin. The site alone will make for a very historic part with so much more to offer than prime camping sites with Brooklyn. Thank you Secretary Salazar!
