According to a report on Gothamist yesterday, “The National Park Service has endorsed the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation’s plan to transfer the Civil War-era Brooklyn Tobacco Warehouse in DUMBO to performing arts presenter St. Ann’s Warehouse. The National Parks Service issued the decision on Monday (see below letter) that it supports its own 2008 decision that allowed the state to redraw the map of the Brooklyn waterfront to allow a historic building in a park to be redeveloped into a theater. As you may recall, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) requested the park boundary be amended in 2008, which prompted local community organizations to sue to stop the renovation.

A public/private venture like Madison Square Park the benefits will not help other parks in the city. It seems that property owners will be the ones to benefit most. The park will need all the money it can get with it’s extremely high operating costs. The simpler park that was originally planned years ago would have been a better plan for the neighborhood and city as a whole. Especially in times of budget cutting.
It is nice to have a pretty park but in the end who really pays?
