Big Park Plans for Bushwick Inlet
There’s been tons of talk about the ambitious plans for the Williamsburg/Greenpoint waterfront in general but we hadn’t heard much up til now about a specific piece of the project called the Bushwick Inlet Park.

There’s been tons of talk about the ambitious plans for the Williamsburg/Greenpoint waterfront in general but we hadn’t heard much up til now about a specific piece of the project called the Bushwick Inlet Park. At last week’s Community Board 1 meeting, city planners proposed a 25-acre stretch that would include soccer and softball fields, a visitors center, a boathouse, a beach, and a boardwalk as well as a museum and memorial plaza dedicated to the USS Monitor. Looks pretty snazzy to us.

Bushwick near the Jefferson/Dekalb stop of the L is fine. There are lots of artists moving in. I’m a white 36 yr old female and I feel fine walking around the immediate area. I would’t venture over to Knickerbocker on my own late at night though.
Well lets put it this way, Bushwick Bill, the one eyed midget rapper from the Geto Boys, didn’t adopt the moniker because it rung true with the Andover/Exeter crowd?
What makes Bushwick so bad? Are there gangs, shootings, killings?
The J line isn’t cool. yeah it runs through williamsburg, but the L is cooler.
Woodhaven, Queens rocks!!!
Cool bars, great food, and superhot chicks.
Plus, the J train…
ozone park? are you crazy, it’s so far out there. no one is going to pay decent rent or buy a house that far from the city.
bushwick is close as crown heights proud said and may turn over next.
OZONE PARK BAY-BEE!
Bushwick is still considered bad my most, except where it touches Wmsburg. That will change as more of the hip and happening move into the nabe. It’s a wonder what time can do. Used to be you couldn’t say you lived in Bed Stuy without people crossing themseves in fear. Now it’s edgy and expensive! Someday even East New York will have cachet.
i think they name of a nice park might help Bushwick’s image. afterall that will make people more open and receptive to bushwick proper, and the area might improve.
is bushwick considered bad, or really bad. isn’t brownsville, east NY, flatlands, etc. considered worse (I realize these nabes aren’t mention much on this blog!)
