It may have been the last day of summer Saturday, but one Queens park gave
New Yorkers a reason to stay in the water. 

After the official ribbon cutting ceremony, New Yorkers geared up to make a
splash in Jamaica Bay, using the new kayak and canoe launch in Idlewild Park
Preserve. 

The preserve is part of the New York City water trail, which is a network of
waterways that connects the city's parks. The Parks Department is thrilled
about the launch, but some neighbors say it's just another headache. 

"I think it's bad," said resident Angel Flores. "Bad because we have
rollover parking. We have garbage all around and we have to clean it."
