Some of you people are insufferable with this “it’s not a park” or “it’s not the biggest park! it has the largest acreage of all Brooklyn Parks. Unless the nyc government has colluded with the environmental agencies to lie to all of us because they are bored… it’s a fucking park. I barley scratched the surface of its entirety. AND YES!! The salt marsh /nature area is a part of the park. Go do some reaserch, MOMO.
I just looked into this and there is a lot more information than I thought I would find. thanks for what you do Brett you always manage to help us perceive these events as they may have happened with your attention to detail!
Wow, awesome video. I was there playing wiffle ball, with my brother who play a mobster now on TV. Otto was on the left side of the handball Courts. That hit was amazing. The park was empty except for us and him. A writer who now owns the book rights to that story, also lived up the block . I have told him , I think the hit would of happened in the park ,instead of give him A flat ,if there wasn’t us kids play next to him . ( great video ) 👍✅
