SUMMARY:Gotham Park Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Gotham Park is a grass-roots community effort reimagining how spaces under the iconic Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan can become a new type of urban community park that nurtures connection\, curiosity\, wonder\, and resilience. The bridge is a sleeping giant\, a landmark recognized the world over\, but it lands in a fenced-off\, dark\, underutilized parking lot. Gotham Park is transforming that space into a neighborhood nexus connecting and strengthening residents\, businesses\, and communities. Built upon the spirit of the original Brooklyn Banks skate mecca\, Gotham Park will restore the Banks while expanding public space and access to create a variety of flexible play spaces that inspire\, engage and delight all ages. Woven together from the vaults\, arches\, and land beneath the Brooklyn Bridge\, Gotham Park is building a hyper-urban\, iconic public space for its communities\, by its communities.
