Weekday Sketchers at Brooklyn Bridge Park
 |
| Pier 1 Bridge Street Lawn |
Once working docks which were abandoned for years, this area became a concrete wasteland. But incredible vision, hard work and dedication has turned this forgotten waterfront into an amazing ecosystem, recreation park, beach and foodie destination. Join us as we explore the many, many facets of this urban oasis nestled between the two most icon bridges in the city.
On this visit, let's try to visit two areas of the park we usually don't go to: Pier 1 Wetlands and the John Street Entrance. We we meet at the entrance to the Park on Fulton Landing and move south to the Pier 1 section of the park to explore the wetlands and the Bridge View Lawn. After lunch we can move to the north end and take in the view from the north side of the Manhattan Bridge. Sketch one or the other, or both! No matter what you will have beautiful sketches to take home. (See map below)
