Preliminary Carroll Park redesign would expand playgrounds, nix old-school bocce court
Italian-American men who once had their own key have faded away
Carroll Gardens residents have been working with the New York City Parks Department on ideas to reconstruct Carroll Park.
The demographics of the neighborhood have changed since the park’s last reconstruction in 1994, and families have new ideas about what they want there. The park is located at Court and Carroll streets, in an area that was once majority Italian-American.
NYC Parks presented a preliminary design at a Community Board 6 committee meeting on Dec. 18.
