"Parks around the borough are offering lots of activities this month, including celebrating the winter solstice, birding, and hiking with horses. Brooklyn parks don't go quiet during the winter season, and for those looking to head outside as the year winds to a close there are lots of activities to enjoy. We've rounded up a selection of free events that offer a chance to explore the borough's flora and fauna."
"As part of the Art Under the Bridge series, Brooklyn Bridge Park is hosting a workshop on a technique, stippling, used by botanical illustrators for centuries. The indoor workshop is suggested for adults and teens with some drawing experience. The event is first come, first served. Bundle up to celebrate the winter solstice in Marine Park. If you bring binoculars or a telescope, you might have a chance of viewing the Geminid and Ursid meteor showers."
"You can get some tips on the best vantage points for viewing the winter birds that make an appearance in Bush Terminal Park during this event with the Urban Park Rangers. Birders from novice to experienced are welcome at the event. See what birds are flitting around Greenpoint with a morning walking through McGolrick Park. The free walks are held year round."
