URL: http://www.maker-park.org/

Description: "We envision an adaptive reuse park that captures the eclectic vibrancy of Williamsburg, Brooklyn and honors its history by breathing new life into the site's rich industrial fabric. The idea for Maker Park springs from an awareness that our waterfront heritage is being wiped away at alarming speed and the fact that parks have the potential to be more than one-dimensional green spaces. Maker Park is posed to achieve the acute community need for green open space while also serving as a dynamic, interactive and educational public space that unites a neighborhood."
