This news got buried in the end-of-year shuffle, so it seemed worthwhile to give it a fresh airing: Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park is going to be closed for a year and a half. When it reopens in spring 2011, it will be part of Brooklyn Bridge Park. It’s going to be extensively renovated and, most excitingly, will be the future home of Jane’s Carousel. While the park is closed, the Movies With a View summer series will be held at the new Pier 1.
