The first sections of Brooklyn Bridge Park are scheduled to open Spring 2010, with additional sections to open in the summer. Pier 1 features a 30-foot waterfront promenade, grand stair with views of the harbor and Lower Manhattan skyline, a playground and gracious lawns. Pier 6 features a 1.6-acre destination playground with water play features as well as sand volleyball courts and a dog run. Brooklyn Bridge Park is a sustainable park, featuring salvaged materials, innovative storm water management techniques, green roofs and energy conservation measures.

When fully constructed, the 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park will stretch 1.3 miles along the Brooklyn waterfront from Atlantic Avenue to north of the Manhattan Bridge. The most significant park to be built in Brooklyn since the construction of Prospect Park, it will feature a bikeway/walkway, generous lawns, playgrounds, sports fields and courts, a series of "get downs" to the water's edge, a calm water boating basin and a picnic peninsula. The park also includes restored natural features including wetlands, salt marshes and dunes, helping to re-establish marine and bird habitats to the site.

Please note: Empire Fulton Ferry Park is currently closed for renovation and is expected to re-open in Spring 2011.

Brooklyn Bridge Park offers dramatic vistas of the harbor, Manhattan skyline and both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.
