Bronx Parks Twofer: Concrete Plant Park & Ferry Point Park


Wednesday, September 16, 2009, by Lockhart

From the department of flying way too low under the radar, here's our first look at the remade Concrete Plant Park in the Crotona Park section of The Bronx. A neighborhood activists' dream for the better part of the decade, the park occupies the site of an abandoned—yes—concrete plant, on the banks of the Bronx River between the Bruckner Expressway and Westchester Avenue (below). What makes this 2.7 acre park unique in the new-generation of NYC greenspace, however, is the degree to which the numerous industrial objects that defined the site have been kept and reworked into its fabric. The park apparently opened to the public earlier this month; while we plan to get our asses up there, anyone had a look around and want to shed more light?
