Stay up to date with the latest Park announcements and event cancellations by visiting our alerts page here. Delays, updates, and cancellations will also be announced on our social media channels. Being on the waterfront, weather can change rapidly; our team assesses conditions regularly and does the best to make appropriate decisions in a timely manner. However, there are instances where an event may need to be delayed or canceled without notice to ensure the safety of our staff, partners, and the public. Thank you for your understanding.

For those who require physical accommodations, there is a limited reserved seating area at the top of the lawn (on the pavement). Please bring your own chair, and see a Brooklyn Bridge Park staff member the welcome tent at top of the lawn to inquire.
