During the summer, residents look forward to block parties at which block associations provide food and entertainment for the street’s residents and guests. Canarsie Pier, part of the Gateway National Recreation Area, is also heavily frequented in the summer. Carnarsie’s main recreation area is Canarsie Beach Park. Baseball and football leagues play on its fields in the spring and fall. 

With the influx of young couples a generation ago, Canarsie’s school- age population, grew but that trend ended in the late 1970’s. The city built two high schools, Canarsie and South Shore, in a period of 10 years, which together drew more than 10,000 students but unfortunately is about half that number.

Despite the drop in enrollment, Canarsie’s schools are near capacity. Canarsie’s middle and high schools are known for exceptional education and consistently rank high.
