  • I have to say, I was really upset when the beautiful willow tree was destroyed to make way for this carousel. But, being a parent, the smiles on my daughters’ faces when they ride the horseys certainly will make up for that. The carousel is another reason to enjoy the waterfront and another reason to enjoy our fine neighborhood.

    R.I.P. Mr. Willow Tree. Your death shall not be in vain.

  • Fugly. Garish. Jarringly out of place next to the Brooklyn Bridge. So B&T and I hate to say that but it’s true. What’s with the wide paved paths leading to it? The “Pavillion” is bad enough. But seriously, did they need to make the whole thing look like a bad local fairground?
    Shame on whoever approved this monstrosity.

  • Suburbia is where the developers bulldoze out the trees, then name the streets after themselves. So I guess we’re now officially the suburbs.

  • What is wrong with you people? Don’t you see our property value going up??

    If you loved the tree so much, don’t buy any wood furniture, paper product, etc. Some trees had to sacrifice for your entertainment.

    Personally I think the Carousel is so pretty especially at night.

  • Absolutely. Just drive in an pick a spot. Be aware though that there is a thin line between Art and Garbage. You risk fines and seizure of your vehicle if it is judged the latter.
