No Skating in McCarren Park This Winter
It is not clear from this article what happened to the City’s RFP for the McCarren Ice Rink, but OSA is putting off the ice rink construction until next year.
Greenpoint’s Boathouse on Troubled Waters
Beautiful pictures and nice synopsis of the Greenpoint Boathouse project at Brooklyn Based:
Community advocates want to reclaim Newtown Creek by constructing a boathouse in the ground floor of the Greenpoint Manufacturing and Design Center (GMDC). The project would also include a repaired bulkhead and an esplanade along the waterfront. For boaters and the kayak-curious, it will mean storage space for non-motorized watercrafts and a training center for recreational boating. For all other visitors, it will provide a place to enjoy the waterfront, as the development would create a public gathering spot that is more of a park than a club.
If all goes according to plan, Greenpoint will have this new waterfront park by 2014.
