As promised, Pier 6, the second piece of the Brooklyn Bridge Park puzzle, opened this past weekend. In a city where playgrounds tend to be on the smaller side, this 1.6-acre layout offers just about anything a kid could ever dream of. There is a water park with fountains and streams, a 6,000-square-foot sandbox, slides (including some that looked two stories high), and an area known as “Swing Valley,” a hilly area complete with gigantic rope swings. The park is surrounded by a wide bikeway and promenade, and there is also a dog run. Eventually, the park will be getting volleyball courts, more lawn area, and a restaurant. It’s a pretty impressive accomplishment, and great to see that much life brought to that end of Atlantic.

Really, Rob? “just as bad as racial profiling”? That seems wildly overstated.

why? you do realize keeping solo adults out of places like this is just as bad as racial profiling, right?
*rob*
Just took my two year old there today and he absolutely loved it. I think I enjoyed it just as much. It’s really a great place and I’m so glad it opened this year (I thought it wouldn’t be done until for years).
Dear Expert — I totally discourage solo adults from spending their free time romping in kiddie playgrounds, but I love that your imaginary kids are named Cornelius and Gertrude.
“for you to have fun, you need booze and drugs?”
No. But it helps!
I agree with 11217. : )
(I believe Hell just froze over. ; ) )
“And then light up a joint when no one is looking and I guarantee you it’s more fun than a kiddie sandbox. ”
haha!!
did you seriously just tell us to dump a water bottle on our heads? :-/
*rob*
Um, if you are supplying the sticky chocolate, I’ll meet you at Pier 1 and I’ll spring for the water bottles. Hell, I’ll even bring some water guns. The cats would be happy to see them leave the house.
