With huge support from volunteer groups from Cornerstone Church, ING and individuals from the local community; the Conservancy has transformed the 97th Street entrance area to a vista overlooking the Verrazano Narrows and Bridge.

Shore Road Gardens/Gazebo at 90th Street

Continuing the fantastic work over the previous 10 years by the original Shore Road Gadens Council (that has now become part of the Conservancy) the Shore Road Gardens and Gazebo area attracts events and visitors on a daily basis.

Flagpole at 80th Street

Driven by regular volunteers from Bay Ridge Prepartory School and many other groups the flagpole area is a regualr area for maintenance and plantings.

87th Street Area

After years of neglect by the DOT and disputes over who is responsible for maintaining the area, the residents of 8701 Shore Road in conjunction with the Conservancy have started to attack this area; and the results are immediate and spectacular!

Vistas from 101st Street to 94th Street (future)

Following a proposal submitted by the Conservancy to the Parks Department; Senator Marty Goldman secured the allocation of $1.6M to provide clearance of hillside areas from 101st Street to 94th Street along Shore Road. Over many years this area has been unmaintained, become overgrown with many “weed trees” completley obscuring the views for residents and visitors alike. Currently the manner in which this allocation will be used is under review to ensure its quickest and most effecient use in clearing this overgrowth.

101st Street entrance and roadway (future)

One of the issues the Parks Department apparently has with even starting work on repairing the rest rooms and parkhouse at 95th Street is the lack of access for trucks to the area becasue the roadway within the park from 101st Street is in such a poor state of repair.

Working with Senator Marty Goldman and Councilman Vincent Gentile; the Conservancy has gained agreement that Transco will provide repair work to the park roadway in that area. Transco are the company who are currently working in the area adjacent to the Gazebo at 90th Street to install a new expansion chamber to allow natural gas to be deleivered to more home in the Brooklyn area.
