Sunset Park’s crumbling stone wall has neighbors fearing for safety
When Sunset Park resident Michael Fleshman looked out his window one Sunday, he noticed a young girl attempting to scale a piece of the wall surrounding the neighborhood’s namesake green space.
The retaining wall — which borders the nearly 25-acre park — is dangerously unkempt, Fleshman told the Brooklyn Eagle, and on any other day, might’ve crushed the child.
The longtime local — who lives across the street with a view of the park — took the Eagle on a brief walking tour Sept. 13 that showcased cracks in the foundation, patchwork that needs redoing and sizable areas where stones are missing.
