The Park Plan

 Construction Update

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 part of Pier 1 scheduled to open in winter 2009. Click here for images of the future park.

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