This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.

Pandemic, Protest, and Pandemonium: North Brooklyn, USA
Special Issue — Edited by G. B. Prato Urbanities, Vol. 10 · Supplement 4 · September 2020 City Life and Beyond in Times of Pandemic © 2020 Urbanities Pandemic, Protest, and Pandemonium: North Brooklyn, USA Judith N. DeSena (St. John’s University, USA) [email protected] When I first proposed this essay, it was going to focus on public responses to and representations of this global pandemic with a focus on North Brooklyn. Since that time, however, a series of individual events have occurred in the U.S. and converged. Thus, the focus has broadened. In early March, there were reports of elders dying in nursing homes in Seattle, Washington from Covid-19. This quickly spread and New York City became the epicentre in the U.S. Residents were told by Governor Andrew Cuomo to ‘stay at home’, and engage in social distancing (6 feet apart). Wearing masks was eventually advised by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). This was additional advice to social distancing and was beneficial in New York City, since it is difficult to maintain a space of 6 feet on city sidewalks. Children’s playgrounds were closed. Sidewalks and residential stoops became substitutes. North Brooklyn has become a vibrant destination for new residents and visitors. The East River waterfront has a new built community of mostly luxury high-rise developments, with some affordable units, and boutique hotels. These towers include upscale stores and restaurants at street level. Greenpoint’s waterfront development is in at an earlier stage, but it is underway. The loud banging of pile driving is heard daily.

Mccarren Park Pool Planyc Survey Results
McCarren Park Pool PlaNYC Survey Results Capital Project Thanks to Mayor Bloomberg’s PlaNYC, the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation (DPR) is developing plans for a major investment in McCarren Park Pool, one of 11 pools opened by Robert Moses in 1936. Built to hold 6,800 swimmers, the pool was a summertime social hub for Greenpoint and Williamsburg until it was closed in 1984. The pool re-opened in the summer of 2005 as a venue for performances and movies. The $50 million allocated will renovate the pool for swimming, create a year-round recreation center, and preserve and restore the historic bathhouse building and entry arch. Surveying Methodology Partnerships for Parks, a joint program of City Parks Foundation and DPR, led the development of the survey, working with DPR and design consultants hired to prepare plans for the site. Survey questions were developed based on feedback from two community design charettes, available funding, and current and projected park use patterns. Surveys were distributed by Partnerships for Parks and the Open Space Alliance (OSA) in person, in print, and by email to over 50 local organizations, newspapers, and blogs in the summer and fall of 2007. 1,665 surveys were collected: 23% on weekdays and weekends at the McCarren Park track, in the pool during a free concert, and in nearby McGolrick Park; 3% via mail; and the remaining 74% online through the DPR and OSA websites. 1 Survey Respondents 69% of respondents (1137 people) are interested in participating in future meetings about the design of the park.
