Salvaged Granite

Working in partnership with the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, Brooklyn Bridge Park was fortunate to receive surplus granite from two bridge reconstruction projects happening in other boroughs of New York City. The result is the creation of some of the park's most iconic features.

The “Granite Prospect” on Pier 1 is made of over 300 pieces (over 1,900 linear feet) of granite salvaged from the reconstructed Roosevelt Island Bridge.

The seating at the Pier 1 salt marsh and portions of the Empire Fulton Ferry landscape around “Jane’s Carousel” are constructed of 3,200 cubic yards of granite salvaged from the demolished Willis Avenue Bridge.
