Jamaica Bay Riding Academy

The Jamaica Bay Riding Academy, an authorized concessionaire of the National Park Service, has been operating a horse facility since Gateway National Recreation Area opened in the early 1970s. It is located on a peninsula of land just north of Floyd Bennett Field known as Bergen Beach. There is nothing on this property other than the Riding Academy, and the trails that crisscross the area are used exclusively for trail rides.

The Jamaica Bay Riding Academy offers riding lessons, public trail rides, and horse boarding, and also hosts birthday parties and summer camps. For more information visit the Jamaica Bay Riding Academy website.
