Brooklyn Bridge Park expansion on the way

The New York Times reported on the soon-to-be-opened Pier 6 expansion as well as new park area for the plaza at Jay Street just below the Manhattan Bridge. The area at Pier 6 is designed to be a more open and “passively” recreational space than the surrounding sports fields. The space at Jay Street will serve as the Northern entrance to the park and will include an annex of the Brooklyn Children’s Museum; an Environmental Education Center, to be run by the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy; new bathrooms; a rebuilt dog run; a refurbished lawn; and new flower gardens.
