The Point
The Point is a large, level area on the south side of Fresh Kills Creek which can provide event areas, sports fields, lawns and art-works. A long promenade along the water’s edge could support restaurants with outdoor dining, a banquet facility and an open-air market roof. Old machinery and artifacts from Fresh Kills, such as old barges re-made as floating planted gardens, may form a unique feature here. The promenade would be a vibrant social space, with seating, fishing piers, and great views across the water of the Isle of Meadows nature preserve. The Point may also support a ferry service to and from Manhattan, as well as a number of specially designed, unique waterfront restaurants and cafes.
