Williamsburg is full of a lot of fabulous things like delicious food, beautiful art and exciting entertainment, but our neighborhood can’t boast a lot of park space. In fact, when it comes to parkland Williamsburg is ranked 46th out of 51 districts in New York City. And even within the neighborhood, the North Side has 15 times more park space per person than the South Side. The Friends of BQGreen

The park could easily continue south over the BQE all the way to Bedford Av.
I live across the street from the park and it’s pretty pathetic as it is. It’s run down and there’s no real greenery except along the side walk. We could REALLY use this reconstruction.
