Any word on using Squibb Park as an entrance? I had heard that it was not going to happen, but it really would be the best thing to connect the Heights to the park.
This is fabulous!
Nice. Open question: Can anyone recall ANY beautification infrastructure projects in the non-Manhattan boroughs led by a recent administration pre-Bloomberg??
This is the northern part of the park that is actually not on piers but rather on a small peninsula that juts out near Old Fulton Street. I think that makes it easier to landscape and create artificial hills and slopes.
These are not from Pier 6, but there’s been a lot of work down there too. Playground stuff going in. I really think they may indeed open up this winter — something I thought was a dream not too long ago.
The sod and trees make a big difference. Otherwise it looked like a grey wasteland. The recycled granite from the Roosevelt Island Bridge gives the site instant history. It was a great idea. This is the area near the Fulton pier.
I notice from the BH promenade that they are finally taking down the old cold storage warehouses as well.
Nice. I think these are pics of Pier 1, closest to the Bridge. I saw them planting trees last week.
Was just wondering about this park yesterday! Are these photos from Pier 6 at the end of Atlantic Ave.? I thought that was the segment that was next due to be done (by the winter)?
This is looking really good!
