GARDENS AT BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK

37 nautical bollards were savaged and reused in the Pier 3 Labyrinth.

The Brooklyn Bridge opened on May 14th, 1883. It was the first bridge to cross the East River, the largest suspension bridge built at the time, and was called the “eighth wonder of the world.”

Construction of the park began in January 2009.

Emily Roebling Plaza is 20,000 square feet

In 1989 the Brooklyn Heights Association proposed the “Harbor Park” plan, the beginnings of what would become Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Long Leaf Yellow Pine from the demolished Cold Storage Buildings is reused as cladding on park structures and custom-designed park benches.

More than 13,000 timber piles support the piers in the Park.
