Nice Park in Brooklyn!
Yes, the Bellwood Quarry park project should be a great asset, but I'm going to miss that big hole in the ground. It's always been kind of fascinating to look at and so unexpected to see in the landscape.
It will be sad to see it go, especially since it has finally come into its own through movies & television in recent years.
Maybe they should just fill the quarry about 50ft from the top, so the rock formations still play a role in the landscape and then they could have steps cascading down to the water's edge. Of course railing would be a must - no one wants to see an errant dog chase a frisbie over the edge - ouch!
