This project is the first phase of a remaking of the Greenpoint-Williamsburg waterfront from a decaying industrial strip to a multifaceted public park. K+C’s team is integrating a full program of ball fields, cafe, public meeting rooms, classrooms, and Park office and maintenance facilities, into a city-block sized site.

The Park buildings become a green hill on the west side, offering views over the ball fields to the Manhattan skyline. A multi level playground and public rooms ascend the hill, while direct access for the public and Parks personnel is provided from the street edge below.
