A Greener Gowanus: Lander and leaders celebrate groundbreaking at St. Mary’s Park
Playground Is the Latest Project to Transform the Neighborhood
Gowanus is known for its notoriously polluted green canal, but the neighborhood may soon be recognized for being viridescent in a more positive way.
On Tuesday, Councilmember Brad Lander and community leaders celebrated the groundbreaking of St. Mary’s Park, a former playground located on Smith Street between Huntington and Luquer streets.
The play area, which is situated in Carroll Gardens on the Gowanus border, sits underneath the elevated subway tracks for the F/G trains known as the Culver Viaduct.
