84th Precinct is ready for Fourth of July Fireworks
This Fourth of July, for the first time since 2009, the fireworks have moved back to the East River — and that means great views at the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and the Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Even with huge crowds expected, the 84th Precinct, which patrols those areas, is ready encouraging everyone to come out to enjoy the event.
“Go out to the promenade, go out into the Brooklyn Bridge Park area and enjoy the fireworks,” 84th Precinct Captain Maximo Tolentino said at this month’s community council meeting. “This is the first time in quite a while that they have had it on this side of Manhattan. You can’t get better views that those spots and we’ll be ready for the crowds.”
The 84th Precinct Community Council holds monthly meetings throughout the area that is policed by the 84th Precinct. This month’s meeting was held in front of Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park, giving community members a chance to check out the park. Tolentino also announced what the precinct has planned.
