Red Hook Beach
Look for more detailed posts to come...
Red Hook Beach is a proposal submitted by a team lead by Douglas Durst and Tom Fox of NY Water Taxi. Red Hook Beach if built will be part of a larger development for the economic renewal of Atlantic Basin. Red Hook Beach will be approx 1 acre; there will also be 1 acre of public park space and playground adjacent to beach and the green-way extending down from Empire Fulton Ferry State Park and the Brooklyn Bridge Park.
The overall effort is driven by Mr Durst's & Mr Fox’s long term commitment to ecologically sound and community friendly development. A key design criterion is to keep traditional maritime industries on the waterfront. Tom also wants to expand the space in the neighborhood available artists and crafts-people.
