At a meeting with Community Board 2′s Parks and Recreation Committee last night, Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corp. head Regina Myer provided more details about the timeline of the park build-out while deflecting questions about behind-the-scenes political maneuverings surrounding the City’s efforts to wrest control on the park from the State; to date, the project has been a joint effort. Myer told the committee that the volleyball courts, a dog run, and a playground planned for Pier 6 at the end of Atlantic Avenue would be completed by the end of this year but that a restaurant and water taxi berth would have to wait. Meanwhile, work has also begun at Pier 1 at the end of Old Fulton Street. Update: Curbed has the rendering of the plan for Pier 6 posted here.
