Hey, Arlene! Yes, they definitely provide a special kind of reprieve from the concrete. Similarly though, we think parks everywhere (especially well-maintained ones) offer opportunity for connection and rejuvenation.
This is a wonderful video, REI. From the narration, cinematography, music score, the whole thing captured me in ways that few videos of it's length do. This deserves more views and recognition, and I hope its lack of does not discourage the creators or any future similar projects. I will watch every single one
Probably one of my favorite videos now on RUclips... Not even a New Yorker and this soothed and touched my soul in a way I didn't know I needed! I so hope REI considers (as others have said) making this into a series featuring various parks in the U.S. :-)
absolutely loved this video! truly captured the serenity and beauty of nature and the importance of parks. Romanticising walks through nature and serenity.
Wes Anderson just called. Here is my new film! Get busy on the over complicated set of the main office, and que up some fantastic 70s and 80s esoteric rock!
love how new yorky these comments are. wes anderson, john mulaney, joe pera...... i am amongst my peoople. Oh and the video was just so healing, soothing and necessary for me to watch. thank you to the creators! I'm in Bushwick, so the park is too far for me to get to. I'm half-kidding.
Was just here for the Fourth of July with some friends!! Absolutely beautiful, you see little scenes of American life play as you walk by. Can't recommend it enough!!
@@rei I’ve been watching in bits an pieces as the day goes along. It’s reassuring to know we have these well spoken, educated (and funny) kids amongst our communities. Makes you feel hopeful.
I think this film should include a tribute to the staff who clean up all the trash visitors generate (which early morning park users are most familiar with)
That young Birder crew were great and their dialog will certainly hold me over until the next Wes Anderson movie comes out
Just lovely. It’s so refreshing to watch something that isn’t trying to be clever, funny, snarky, or sarcastic.
This should be a series.
The parks of New York City are the best escape from the craziness and what keeps us together. It is our Narnia

I love warblers!! Over in western Oregon-in mid spring, for a few days, several dozen feast on a tree’s berries just outside my living room window 😍

Great video. in a kind of way, this video reminds me of the film Blue in the Face. Little ny vignettes
beautifully shot, what a wonderful video.

Loved this! A wonderful celebration of a park and its people!!
Thanks, Jane! That's exactly what we were aiming for!
This is magical!!
The music is so beautiful! Is there a plan to release any of it? I've tried searching online but can't find any of these tracks.
This was a beautiful experience- thank you.
Incredible video! I was in that park for the entire half hour.
the only thing this is missing is a John Mulaney cameo and it would be absolutely perfect
Where can I find the soundtrack to this?
Same.
Woah😮
I NEED to know what that opening song is. I fear it's original which means I can't listen to it on repeat :(
this is so lovely
Support your workers better REI
Elias (and all of his friends) seem to be 60 year olds trapped in the body of a kid
HOW is there a whole group of these geriatric children there??
🎶 I think it was the Fourth of July…🎶
I love the music of the intro but i couldn’t find anything on the web about Anthony Ferraro. Any advice?
try Astronauts ETC. and his name. he is a special dude
I think this film should include a tribute to the staff who clean up all the trash visitors generate (which early morning park users are most familiar with)
Nope. It’s perfect the way it is. 😊
Does anyone know what the music is???
Original score by Anthony Ferraro :-) (from Astronauts ETC. and Toro Y Moi)
these bird watchers have only appeared en masse over the last couple years
this is Joe Pera territory
1 of every 4 are beetles. not 3 of every 4.

No mention of the 2 polar bears who mauled an 11-year-old boy to death at the Prospect Park Zoo?
Why would they mention this from 1987?
Yes, yes yes yes. Go to Prospect park. Do not go to Fort Greene Park, horrible place...
