My friend and i put this geocache here. We wanted it to be somewhere where there were no nearby caches. If you want some history about Brooklyn Bridge Park keep reading.
Brooklyn Bridge Park is the result of extensive planning and community advocacy for many decades.
After the close of its cargo operations in 1984, the Port Authority announced plans to sell the piers for commercial development. This caused a reevaluation of the site’s value as a public resource and generated a decades-long citizens’ movement dedicated to mobilizing public support for a park. Initiated by local community residents and carried forward by the Brooklyn Bridge Park Coalition (now the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy), this grassroots campaign enlisted the endorsement and financial commitment of local, city, and state officials to the park concept.
