Park Progress: Thirty-Second Report–Trees!

Inclement weather prevented your correspondent from making his usual Brooklyn Bridge transit this morning, but a break in the rain late this afternoon allowed for a few shots from the Promenade.

There, peeking over Regina Ridge, are Pier 1’s first five–or is it six?–trees. More are soon to come, I’m sure.

Removal of the decking from the southernmost part of Pier 1 continues, exposing the part where the “A” and “C” train tunnel runs underneath, so no pilings were driven there. More photos and text after the jump.

Another canal for kayaks, like the one next to Pier 2, is being made at the south end of Pier 1.

This pile of stones may be destined to become parts of Pier 1’s landscape. Stay tuned.
