After 13 years of closure and 2 years of advocacy, we're excited to announce we’re making progress towards opening #GothamPark – a new community park and hub beneath the #Manhattan Anchorage of the #BrooklynBridge. Gotham Park is stepping into the light, and we welcome you to join us. Read about Gotham Park and our partners at The Skatepark Project in The New York Times!

A new type of urban community park built by our communities, FOR our communities.
About us
Gotham Park – also known as Brooklyn Bridge Manhattan – envisions unlocking the potential of the forgotten spaces under the iconic Brooklyn Bridge in New York, creating a new type of urban Community Park that nurtures connection, curiosity, wonder, and resilience. The Bridge is a sleeping giant - a Landmark recognized the world over – yet lands in a fenced-off, dark, underutilized parking lot. We will transform it into a neighborhood nexus connecting and strengthening our residents, businesses and communities. Built upon the spirit and foundation of the original Brooklyn Banks, we will restore the Banks while expanding public space and access to create a variety of flexible play spaces that inspire, engage and delight all ages. Woven together from the vaults, arches and land beneath the Bridge, we will build a Park for our communities, by our communities.

Celebrating GRooP 3.0! 🌱✨ Student interns from Urban Assembly Maker Academy wrapped up our Grass Roots Planters Project last week! Five talented students created a 3D scale model of our 9-acre site and made key recommendations for improvements. Kudos to the Urban Assembley maker students Evie, Jaden, Katie, Muzic, Rebeca, and the Arup facilitators Gustavo and Stephanie. Incredible work! #UrbanDesign #StudentInterns #CommunityProject #GothamParkNYC
