Piers 3 and 4 Uplands open, linking Brooklyn Bridge Park greenway
The Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway is another step closer to being complete thanks to the grand opening of the Piers 3 and 4 Uplands, the final missing link connecting Brooklyn Bridge Park’s (BBP) 85 acres of recreational piers and parkland.
The six-acre Uplands opened amid much fanfare on November 16, with hundreds of people lining the landscaped walkways, exploring the lawns, and climbing the granite terrace and the first of several hills to get an even better view of the New York harbor and skyline. The expanse took a year to construct and stretches along the waterfront between Montague and Orange Streets.
“We are very pleased to see this important section of the park coming to life, and connecting more visitors to the waterfront,” said Nancy Webster, executive director of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy. “The conservancy looks forward to using this new landscape to provide even more free public programming to our community.”
