New Community Park, Abolitionist Place, Now Open in Downtown Brooklyn

Abolitionist Place, a 1.15-acre public park, has been inaugurated at 225 Duffield Street in Downtown Brooklyn. The park, open from 6 am to 1 am, includes a playground, dog run, water feature, benches, water fountains, and a lawn. The children's play area, featuring three climbing structures and ample running space, is accessible from sunrise to sunset. Visitors should note the park lacks shade.

The park has specific rules for visitors. Dogs must be leashed except in the dog run and are prohibited from the lawn or furniture. The water feature, set to be operational soon, requires children to wear footwear. Parents should consider bringing waterproof sandals for their children.

The Downtown Brooklyn Partnership will oversee the park's maintenance and programming. A security guard will be on duty to ensure visitor safety. The park's goal is to provide a safe, enjoyable community space.

A pop-up reading room for children, in partnership with Street Lab, will open on Wednesday, May 15th, from 2 to 5 PM. The reading room aims to promote reading among children by offering a curated book collection and a comfortable reading space.

The inauguration of Abolitionist Place adds a new recreational space to Downtown Brooklyn. The park, with its various features and initiatives, is expected to become a community favorite.
