It is ironic, isn't it? Cobble Hill and DUMBO get dumped on with a wall of housing for a "park" that isn't (they call it a project now). No year round recreation, no pool, no ice rink, no field house - a wetlands and tidal pools is what we get over here in Cobble Hill. And housing - lots and lots of housing - 1250 units to be exact. I hope the Cobble Hill Association will continue to press for a true park that is open, welcoming and can be enjoyed by all (and not a "park" for those who live in it).
