Fun Fact
The plants around the park cove, put in place by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, include many native coastal species. The plants were intentionally chosen to provide highly diversified feeding and nesting habitats for birds, and to attract pollinators, especially butterflies.

The Park Plan

The future 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park will stretch 1.3 miles along the East River from north of the Manhattan Bridge to Atlantic Avenue.  The Park includes Piers 1 - 6, each approximately the size of Bryant Park, and their uplands. Brooklyn Bridge Park will transform this underused and inaccessible stretch into a magnificent public space filled with lawns, recreation, beaches, coves, restored habitats, playgrounds and beautifully landscaped areas.  The Park will connect visitors to the waterfront and NY Harbor in extraordinary ways with floating pathways, fishing piers, canals, paddling waters and restored wetlands.  This is the most significant park development in Brooklyn since Prospect Park was built 135 years ago.

Park construction has begun, with sections of the park scheduled to open beginning Fall 2009. Click here for images of the future park.

For more detailed information on park design and construction, see the website of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation.
