"For the first time in 160 years, a 6-acre span on the East River waterfront in the shadow of the Williamsburg Bridge is open to the public," writes Gabrielle Golenda.

Golenda describes the new park as designed "to inspire curiosity about the site’s history while including new materials to balance its unique identity with performance."
