As promised, Pier 6, the second piece of the Brooklyn Bridge Park puzzle, opened this past weekend. In a city where playgrounds tend to be on the smaller side, this 1.6-acre layout offers just about anything a kid could ever dream of. There is a water park with fountains and streams, a 6,000-square-foot sandbox, slides (including some that looked two stories high), and an area known as “Swing Valley,” a hilly area complete with gigantic rope swings. The park is surrounded by a wide bikeway and promenade, and there is also a dog run. Eventually, the park will be getting volleyball courts, more lawn area, and a restaurant. It’s a pretty impressive accomplishment, and great to see that much life brought to that end of Atlantic.

“there’s a beautiful pier at the other end of the park which is a great spot for adults to hang. It’s called Pier 1.”
There’s no rope swings for the adults.
“And then light up a joint when no one is looking and I guarantee you it’s more fun than a kiddie sandbox.”
Light up a joint??? really???
for you to have fun, you need booze and drugs?
11217, you need an inner child.
112.. go to pier 6 on a hot sunny day. stand outside the water area and tell me you don’t want to go in and run around and get wet.
oh, and while you’re standing outside douse yourself with that water bottle.
“Should we let kids drink alcohol so that everything is fair?”
It’s odd to compare allowing adults to run around in a water park to allowing kids to drink alcohol.
I don’t get it.
“There are so many places for adults to hang out”
IMO, none as cool as this.
BTW, there’s a beautiful pier at the other end of the park which is a great spot for adults to hang. It’s called Pier 1.
Bring a water bottle, pour it over your head and pretend you’re at Pier 6.
And then light up a joint when no one is looking and I guarantee you it’s more fun than a kiddie sandbox.
“to create playgrounds with sandboxes, unicorns and lollipops for adults.”
OMG…that would be awesome!
LOL Noki! I learned that lesson in Puerto Rico when I inadvertently gave a bunch of kids on the beach a show! WHOOOPS!
Snaps, Oh all right [exaggerated sigh].
Come on.
Just make sure you’re wearing something unlikely to become transparent!
i am all for protesting this garbage.
The dog run at the new park also has a sign preventing people without dogs from entering. I wonder if that is to exclude dog pervs?
Got to agree with 11217 (did I say that?) that this thread would look pretty ridiculous to a casual observer.
