History

Palmetto Playground Dog Park, located at Columbia Place and State Street in Brooklyn, NY 11214 (40.692091° N, -73.998889° W), boasts a unique and surprisingly rich history dating back to 1930.

Initially conceived as a small corner adjacent to a golf course, the project evolved significantly.

Early plans envisioned a 10-acre water park, but concerns raised by Moses regarding the initial bathhouse and seawall placement led to a reduction in the water park area to just 2 acres.

The park’s expansive 30-acre (12 ha) footprint includes open grassy areas and access to 14 bays along the Atlantic coast, with Bays 1-5 situated on the eastern side facing State Street and Bays 6-14 located at the Central Mall’s mouth.

The park’s development reflects a fascinating transformation of space and a consideration of coastal conditions.
