Improvements to the Hank Snow Playground continue!

We’ve levelled out the very uneven ground at the top of the park and tapered the hill to create a smoother, more usable space. Just like at the bottom of the hill, you’ll soon see fresh grass growing in!

And while we’re thinking ahead…we can already picture a future sledding day down this hill!

TONIGHT!

The sun is shinin', the hot dogs will be grillin' and David Lawson and the Country Jammers will be singin.' This is our final Summer Concert Music Series by Brooklyn Recreation for 2026 so bring the fam jam and your lawn chairs and spend the evening with us.

Remember, we have adjusted the times a bit because it's getting dark earlier. Hella Good Gourmet Hog Dogs will set up shop at 5PM, but the music will start a half hour earlier at 6:30PM. We will try to get as close to 8:30 as possible, but may be more 8:15PM.

See you at the Waterfront Park!

We can’t believe we’re saying this, but tomorrow night is our LAST Summer Concert Music Series by Brooklyn Recreation!!

We have David Lawson and the Country Jammers on the mic, with Hella Good Gourmet Hotdogs servin’ the grub.

Note: New time change!!

With the days getting shorter, we are pushing out last concert a half hour earlier. The food truck will still be on site at 5, but the band will start at 6:30, rather than 7.

Everything will wrap up at 8:30!

See you tomorrow 🎶 🌭

We’ve added two new garbage cans!

We’ve added a garbage can at Hank Snow Playground, right beside our new picnic table, and another at Brooklyn Waterfront Park, located closer to the gazebo (but still far enough away that you won’t have to worry about any unwanted smells!).

Both locations are perfect spots to enjoy a family picnic, grab a quick lunch break during the workday, or simply spend some time enjoying our community spaces.

So pack a lunch, enjoy the outdoors, and please help us keep these spaces clean by using the new garbage cans!

A little effort from all of us goes a long way in keeping Brooklyn beautiful!
