Transmitter Park Waterfront Park

SiteWorks was the resident landscape architect for the construction of a new 1.6-acre waterfront park adjacent to Kent Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The site originally contained two abandoned ferry slips and a building that served as a transmission facility for WNYC radio for over 50 years. The development of the park has transformed this underused industrial site into an inviting public green space. The park includes a children’s play area with a water feature, an open lawn area, plantings, new walkways, and a waterfront esplanade with a new pedestrian pier that extends over the East River. The project also included the construction of river-edge biofiltration areas to naturally filter urban stormwater.
