Barretto Point Park

Barretto Point Park is a waterfront public park on the East River located in the Hunts Point neighborhood of the Bronx, New York City, United States. Its namesake is Francis J. Barretto, a 19th-century merchant and State Assemblyman who lived in the area. History The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation acquired the property in 2001 from the city's Department of Environmental Protection, and the park opened to the public in 2006. The land on which the park was created was remediated and capped to make sure it was clean and safe. Prior to 1950, the site housed a sand and gravel operation and an asphalt plant. Between 1954 and 1978, the placement of fill on the site increased the size of the upland. Since 2008, Barretto Point Park has been host to a barge named the Floating Pool Lady. The 20,000 square-foot vessel contains an outdoor 25-meter swimming pool with a pool house; locker rooms with showers; bathrooms; a children's spray shower; a gangplank leading to and from the barge; and other amenities, including a small amphitheater. Landscape The landscape of Barretto Point Park recalls the rustic atmosphere that once characterized Hunts Point and provides a popular outdoor gathering space for its residents. The park is accessible from the East River by canoe and kayak, and provides views of the North and South Brother Islands, which are bird sanctuaries with histories that span three centuries. The islands themselves are closed to the public. Tiffany Street Pier To the immediate west of Barretto Point Park is the Tiffany Street Pier, a recreational space that predates the park and also offers views of the bird sanctuary islands in the East River. Previously used as a loading dock, it became popular with recreational fishermen and local residents in search of a quiet space on the waterfront. In 1995, the city rebuilt the pier out of an innovative material produced from 1.5 million recycled plastic bottles, which can withstand damage caused by wood-boring marine insects. In September 1996, a lightning strike melted a third of the pier, including its gazebo. The pier reopened in 2000 and in the following year, the city's Department of Citywide Administrative Services assigned the pier and surrounding underwater parcels to the Parks department. Although at the time, the pier was a considerable walk from residential sections of Hunts Point, it again welcomed individuals seeking fishing, sunbathing and a view of the water.

Barretto Point Park

Barretto Point Park è una parco pubblico di New York, situato lungo l'East River, nel quartiere Hunts Point, nel Bronx: deve il suo nome a Francis J. Barretto, un mercante del XIX secolo e membro dell'Assemblea Statale che visse nella zona. Storia e descrizione Fino al 1950 il sito ospitava una cava di sabbia e ghiaia e un impianto per la produzione di asfalto: tra il 1954 e il 1978 l'opera di riempimento del sito ha creato una sorta di altopiano. Nel 2001 il New York City Department of Parks and Recreation ha acquistato la proprietà dal New York City Department of Environmental Protection e dopo lavori di bonifica e pulizia è stato creato un parco, inaugurato nel 2006. Nel 2008 è stata installata una chiatta contenente una piscina di venticinque metri. Il paesaggio di Barretto Point Park richiama l'atmosfera rustica che un tempo caratterizzò Hunts Point e offre uno spazio all'aperto per i suoi residenti, con campi di pallavolo e pallacanestro. Raggiungibile in canoa, il parco si affaccia sulle Isole Brother del Nord e del Sud, luogo prediletto per gli appassionati di ornitologia. Ad ovest del parco si trova Tiffany Street Pier, uno spazio ricreativo anch'esso con veduta sulle Isole Brother: utilizzato in precedenza come piattaforma di carico, è divenuto popolare per i pescatori e residenti alla ricerca di un posto tranquillo. Nella zona, nel 1995, è stato costruito un molo fabbricato con circa un milione e mezzo di bottiglie di plastica riciclate. Il molo ha resistito all'azione del mare ma è stato danneggiato nel 1996 da un fulmine che ne ha sciolto circa un terzo oltre al suo gazebo: ristrutturato, è stato riaperto nel 2000.

Bridge Park (Bronx)

Bridge Park is a park in the Bronx, New York, created as part of a larger vision of creating connected waterfront parks along both sides of the Harlem River. The park's name references its proximity to three large arch bridges linking Manhattan and the Bronx: Alexander Hamilton Bridge, Washington Bridge, and High Bridge. History Land for this park was gradually acquired by the City of New York between 1884 and 2011. The oldest of the parcels was along the Bronx side of Washington Bridge, where winding trails and steps descended from the bridge's landing in the Morris Heights neighborhood to the Harlem River's shoreline. The bridge was conceived by Parks Commissioner Andrew Haswell Green. An early advocate of expanding the City of New York, he envisioned the bridge as symbolic of the unity between Manhattan and the Bronx. The bridge was completed in 1889 and was named after the country's first president on the centennial of his inauguration. The construction of Major Deegan Expressway (I-87) in 1939 and Cross-Bronx Expressway (I-95) in 1955 greatly reduced some of the parkland on the Harlem River shoreline in favor of highway ramps connecting Washington Bridge to the two highways. Located on a narrow property between the water's edge and the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line, the park is located on a site that was originally an illegal dump and a dog pound. The area was difficult to access, and undeveloped until the City decided to develop unused waterfronts as linear parks connecting distant neighborhoods and providing opportunities to launch canoes and learn about wildlife living in Harlem River. In May 2015, the 0.5-mile (0.80 km) strip along the Bronx side of Harlem River opened to the public as Bridge Park. Bridge Park connects to Roberto Clemente State Park to its north. Current status The master plan for Bridge Park includes passive and active recreational facilities and educational structures including a boathouse and canoe launch at the water's edge; a greenhouse, garden and picnic grove further inland, as well as a performance space and bike trails. Bridge Park's development is ongoing with community input on its design and acquisition of land to connect it with other parks on the Harlem River shoreline.

Although the direct current standard lost to AC in the war, Edison had continued to electrify lower Manhattan with direct current and accounted for 90 percent of the electric power at the time against United's 10 percent. The substation in particular was aimed at providing reliable power to Broadway theatres and Times Square signs at a time when most theatres had direct current. In 1928, New York Edison began the process to adopt the AC standard and by 1935 had totally acquired United. After the building was decommissioned as a substation it became a Masonic Lodge. The masonic emblem with the inscription "Gran Logia de Lengua Española Vales De Nueva York" still hangs over the entrance and the abbreviation ALGDGADU is also above the entrance. The abbreviation is interpreted from Spanish "A La Gloria Del Gran Arquitecto Del Universo" to say "to the Glory of the Great Architect of the Universe." According to the building's certificate of occupancy from 1959, the space was intended to be used as offices and a recording studio and had been used illegally as a theater space for several decades. During its period as the Davenport Theatre from 2014 to 2018 there were two performances spaces, a 149-seat main stage on the ground floor and a 99-seat black box, which was renovated and renamed, The Loft at the Davenport Theatre on the third floor. In 2019, the theater was converted to NYC Tango, a dance hall. Following the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, the building reopened in 2022 as AMT Theater with An Unbalanced Mind. Productions Selected productions at the theater. References External links Official website

The park is named for environmentalist Frances "Franny" Reese (1917-2003), who worked to conserve lands in the Hudson River region. Park description Franny Reese State Park's main feature is its 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of hiking trails along old carriage roads that may also be used for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter. The trails offer views of the Hudson River, the nearby Mid-Hudson Bridge, the Walkway over the Hudson, and the City of Poughkeepsie across the river. Ruins of the 19th century mansion are also visible within the park.
