New Waterfront Park Unveiled in Red Hook

Chronicler of all things Red Hook b61 productions reports on the unveiling of a new public garden and park on the Waterfront at the foot of Conover Street. Pictured are designer Lynden Miller (mother of mayoral candidate Gifford) with developer Greg O’Connell on her right:

There were no oversized scissors. There wasn’t even a ribbon. All pretense was set aside Friday afternoon for the unveiling of the Pier 44 Jetty and Waterfront Garden. The masses huddled in the shadow of Lady Liberty. And the rain dampened the newly-planted bunchgrass along with the aspirations of photographers who sought a picturesque documentation of Red Hook history. It was somehow fitting.
