Park(ing) Day After Party - Under the BQE

Come join us and the Design Trust for Public Space for one of their monthly Public Space Potlucks, this one hosted under the BQE at Washington and Park Avenues. As part of Park(ing) Day, a global day which reclaims parking spaces citywide for other uses, we are working with a great group of collaborating organizations to transform part of the parking area into a dinner party. We will be creating a giant communal dinner table made from recycled wooden pallets from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and showcasing the day’s Park(ing) Day spaces.

This event is being organized in partnership with Architecture for Humanity NY, Do Tank Brooklyn, Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership, Design Trust for Public Space, and Transportation Alternatives.

This dinner is part of an effort to bring temporary programming to the spaces under the BQE. MARP has been working with the community to generate ideas for how this space can be improved for the entire community, to create a space that is cleaner, safer, greener, more active, and that helps to reconnect the areas to the north and south of the BQE. To see drawings and photos of ideas submitted by past workshop attendees, visit here. And stay tuned for future opportunities to help plan the future of this space.
