NYC Parks has announced new designs for the $24 Million reconstruction of the western edge from Myrtle Avenue and various internal paths to increase accessibility in Fort Greene Park! The NYC Parks Commissioner shared a new plan that expands the design for its Fort Greene Park’s Parks Without Borders project that will restore the original design intent of the park, while modernizing it to create a fully ADA accessible entrance and reconstruct pathways for users of all abilities.
This project will combine the designs of two previous Fort Greene projects and add much-needed additional repair and construction to the western side of the park. It will reconstruct entrances, plaza spaces, update the drainage infrastructure, and the path system. As part of the added scope of work, the new path connections will improve ADA accessibility and address ongoing site issues with erosion from stormwater runoff. The project will also add new trees, plantings, and security lighting throughout the park pathways. Design for the expanded project has begun and will take approximately one year.
Stay tuned!
