Its Location

Canarsie is located at the south-eastern shoreline of Brooklyn, not far from beautiful Jamaica Bay and the famous Sheepshead Bay. It's roughly 15 miles from Manhattan.

Canarsie Empowerment on My Heart

Today Canarsie, strong in tradition, is three hundred sixty nine (369) years old. Its rich borders span approximately three hundred and twelve (312) square blocks. Starting at Jamaica Bay on the south, it moves to Paerdegat Basin and Ralph Avenue on the west and then to Ditmas Avenues, Avenue D and Linden Boulevard on the north, and then down Louisiana Avenue to Fresh Creek Basin on the east. Conveniently located just ten (10) minutes away from Kennedy International Airport and forty (40) minutes away from Manhattan. Canarsie is extremely close to the heart and pulse of the greatest city in the world.

Spanning over three (3) centuries, it is a combination of the old and new, the traditional and modern. It is a combination of a small suburban community and part of a major metropolis. Canarsie's proud traditions are deeply rooted in the American culture and heritage. Canarsie is truly the personification of our great nation.

My Friend Shaquita Jumping Rope
