LAST GASP: More Dumping At The Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch?
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Newtown Creek
As some of you might recall, a lot of noise has been made, well, about the noise emanating from the property adjacent to the Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch. For those of you who are not in the know, you can get up to speed by clicking here. I have not heard any complaints about this matter— or piece of public space— for several days. No worries, now I have a new one. Laura writes:
Hi Heather!
These pictures aren’t the greatest because Mike used his cell phone to take the photos. But Mike saw a Parks Dept employee dump a bunch of bushes in the Newtown Creek. (He’s not sure if there was anything else). He called ST (Stephanie Thayer, Parks Supervisor for all parks in Community Board 1 and Executive Chair of Open Space Alliance— Ed. Note.), who says something will be done.
Was this the handiwork of a Parks Department employee? Quite frankly it is too hard to tell given the photographs. However, this is one piece of foliage that didn’t make it to mulchfest!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: The Other Barge Park?
I imagine some of the people reading this will want to enjoy this recent bit of pleasantly mild weather at one of our public spaces. If so, you will probably want to avoid the Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch. An anonymous tipster (who sent the above photographs) writes:
Hey there,
Just wondering if you’ve seen the atrocity that is the metal recycling barge at the end of manhattan ave near the Newtown Creek. These guys are parked a 1/4 of the way into the park and have destroyed the entire view looking east. My dog won’t even take a shit down now there cause the metal being splashed around scares the hell out of her. They’re at it 12 hours a day… please help spread the word, and have people call 311.We have too few parks as it is. I can’t believe the city would approve of this nonsense (assuming they know about it, which is doubtful).Thanks!
Missing On Manhattan Avenue: Andrew
I spied this flier (at Huron Street) while knocking around north ‘Point earlier today. If you have seen Andrew or know of his whereabouts please contact his “person” at the above-listed telephone number. Thanks!
