Brooklyn Bridge Park is excited to welcome New Yorkers and visitors from around the world to celebrate the World Cup, and we recognize that an event of this scale can have impacts on our neighbors and the surrounding community. We are taking proactive steps to manage impacts and ensure the park continues to be a welcoming place for residents and visitors alike. We extend our sincere thanks to our partners across City government whose collaboration and dedication help make this event possible.
Safety & Security
In addition to NYPD and enhanced Park Enforcement Patrol (PEP) adidas will provide additional dedicated security, as well as on-site EMS personnel, including an ambulance, during all operating hours.
Transportation & Sanitation
A portion of Water St. between Old Fulton St. and Dock St. will be closed to vehicular traffic during this activation. Vehicles will have access to the River Café, turning off of Old Fulton Street, as indicated in the map below.
DOT will be re-routing the B25 bus and removing the tour bus signage from Front St.
DSNY will be providing additional cleaning and trash pick-ups to the surrounding area with high pedestrian traffic.
Brooklyn Bridge Park is committed to using the revenue it receives from this event to expand our free public and education programming which serves our immediate neighbors and beyond. This expansion includes increased Movies With a View screenings, additional recreation and fitness classes, and education programs throughout the Park.
