Know Before You Go
The park is currently closed for construction. This project will transform the existing space into a green "urban oasis" in the heart of the Brooklyn Civic Center. The park will become a passive space with new flowering trees and shrubs. Landscaping along the new path system will entice visitors to relax in the park, while allowing easy access from one side of the park to the other.
Additional work includes new fencing, an improved drainage system that will allow water to nourish the landscape, new benches, a planted oval plaza, and an ornamental water feature.
Thank you for your patience as we improve your park.
Anticipated Completion: Winter 2012
