SEE IT: Greenpoint to get new park and pier
Area to be redesigned with new greenspace, waterfront access
GREENPOINT – When Brooklyn Community Board 1 met on April 18 to discuss revised plans for the parcel 5C-2, the site within Greenpoint Landing at the waterfront located between Eagle Street and Green Street, they planned a new area with greenspace and pier access.
Greenpoint Landing is the 22-acre site situated along a half-mile of East River waterfront being master-planned and developed by Greenpoint Landing Developers.
The open space at parcel 5C-2 will create a variety of experiences along the Brooklyn shoreline including picnic nooks, a secluded meadow walk, multiple seating areas, large lawns and meandering paths, a garden, and what will be known as Green Street Pier – an almost 500-foot long accessible pier that extends out to the water and includes synthetic turf areas, lounge chairs, shade structures and viewing steps.
