The proposed Brigham Street Park site is located in City Council District 48 in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. The site is owned by the Department of Parks & Recreation and is currently a garbage strewn lot with a variety of broken fences. It is also the last remaining undeveloped waterfront in this area and is currently used as a parking lot by people fishing from a nearby dock. Citizens and community groups in the area have expressed their concerns about the safety and inaccessibility and requested designs that would transform this vacant lot into a waterfront amenity for all to enjoy.
In Council District 48, there are 2,561 kids per playground and the total acreage of parkland is 5%, less than half the citywide average. The need is great and the community is ready to create visions for a viable park and preserve the last remaining water view in this neighborhood.
Once tiny correction – the Park is located in Council District 46, not 48 (but in Sheepshead Bay and Plumb Beach, we’ve been so carved up, it’s hard to tell where one ends and one begins sometimes)
Thanks as always for spreading the word!

Is this where they used to have little wooden bungalows?

I think what you’re thinking of was further down on Plumb Beach (then known as Plum Island).
