GOWANUS LANDS

Gowanus Lands is a community-led proposal to create a natural parkland for public use in the heart of Gowanus

LOCATION

On the west side of the Gowanus Canal between Huntington Street and 5th Street is a vacant, city-owned parcel of land.

A CLOSER LOOK

The site is about 6 acres in area and has been vacant for years.  It's a former industrial site that is now owned by the City.

WHY NOT A PARK?

This site is a public asset, and City Hall will decide what to do with it.  If enough people say they want a park, City Hall will listen!

WHO ARE WE?

We are a group of neighbors in Gowanus who would like the City to consider putting a park on the site.  Please email us at gowanuslands@gmail.com if you're interested in getting involved.  And please sign our petition below!
