Brooklyn Bridge Park
City Park · Brooklyn, New York
Eighty-five acres of former shipping piers on the East River below Brooklyn Heights, converted from derelict cargo terminal into parkland from 2010 — six piers, each given a different job, with the Manhattan skyline directly across the water. ⚠ THE PIERS ARE THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURES: the park is built on the concrete decks and timber piles of a working port that closed in the 1980s.
