I visited Transmitter Park, located on Greenpoint Ave and the water, the day after its opening July 4th. It’s a wide open field with a fence closing off the water with tables generously spread throughout the area and woodchips strewn across the ground. There was a sign calling for volunteer gardeners where I proceeded to fantasize about turning the park into a beautiful urban forest or vegetable garden with a mural along the side of…

  1. constrcution!

    I love when things like this have spelling errors. Does no one proofread their shit anymore??

  2. I've been going there almost every day, it's so nice to have a little oasis like that so close to home. I know it will start getting overrun though.

    (5) e-mail address has a white space in it, and is therefore not a valid address

    (6) Extra space between "scheduled" and "start" in "Scheduled Start Date:"

    At least they got the acute and grave accents in the right place in "Terese"!

  4. I've been going here everyday as well, it is truly a gift to have so close to home! The only problem is the people who feel that just because they are the only one at the park when they arrive, that they don't have to leash their dogs when another comes in. They then get upset and righteous when they are reminded that it's not a dog park. I have a dog. I love dogs, they should be able to have a run around. That is why dog parks exist. When your unleashed dog approaches my leashed dog…. it is a problem.
    Otherwise, it's a great place – and having spent my youth climbing the roofs onto the pier at Kent off West, a legal waterfront hangout is long over due! YAY TP! Typos and all.
