Brooklyn Bridge Park is officially opening Piers 3 and 4 this Saturday with music and kid-friendly activities. The new piers add six acres of park land, the final connection of the parkwide greenway, a granite terrace and the first of the park’s “sound attenuating hills” (presumably to block the noise from the BQE directly behind the park). The festivities will run from 10 am to 1 pm and feature music from the Hungry March Band and staff-led tours.

  1. “And it is happening in everyone’s favorite brownstone neighborhood, Brooklyn Heights, the first and still the best.”
    When I say something similar, I’m being sarcastic and trolling. Sadly, I know you’re serious.
    Minard, will you go out with me? I want to show you the rest of New York City.

  2. its a great park for everything, to bad the “tourist helicopters” that fly over the harbor, fly all day long causing a constant loud drone over this beautiful park, killing all the tranquality………………

    The berm was formed to make the park quieter from the BQE traffic?, what about all the tourist helicopters flying above?, they are ten times more annoying than traffic…..
