McCarren Park visitors have new pathways to enjoy
Visitors to McCarren Park in Greenpoint can enjoy it even more than they did before, thanks to a renovation of the recreation area done by the parks Department with funds obtained from the city budget by Councilman Stephen Levin.
Levin (D-Williamsburg-Greenpoint), who recently announced the completion of the months-long project to refurbish the park’s pathways, said he supplied the funds to address the terrible condition of the walkways. Residents who frequently visited McCarren told Levin that the pathways were a major flaw in North Brooklyn’s most heavily used park.
In addition to the paths being repaved, the project includes landscaping of additional green space, the planting of 68 switch grass plants and the installation of 39 new World’s Fair style benches.
