Under Construction
We are creating a new green "North Park" at Fort Totten. The newly designed passive park will include lawns and paths using existing trees and topography to frame views of Little Neck Bay. The old King Battery will be marked with a large grass mound and new benches will be added along the paths. In addition a drinking fountain, new plantings and over 140 new trees will be added to this natural setting. In preparation for this new park, 19 unused structures will be demolished.
Anticipated Completion: Winter 2010
