Park-Starved Brooklyn Community Gathers for Groundbreaking Ceremony
The North Brooklyn community ranks near the bottom per capita in terms of open space available for resident use. While the district is flanked by water on two sides—Newton Creek to the north and East River to the west—for many years, its residents could only sneak through the fences or brave abandoned industrial sites to get to the water.
Given the pace of new residential construction (fast) vs. the pace of parks construction (slow), we can expect less and more crowded open space for the foreseeable future.
