2 Tillary Parks Overview: Current Conditions: Opportunity: Columbus Park connects to Korean War Veterans Plaza and Cadman Plaza Park to the north. Both parks are characterized by mature London Plane trees and formal, axial paths, typical of mid-20th century NYC park design. Both parks’ edges are largely fenced or walled that limit park access to entrances that no longer align with current pedestrian desire lines. To the west of Korean War Veterans Plaza is the Brooklyn Heights branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. The construction of residential housing will draw more residents to these parks and increase the demand for park space. Tillary St is a wide arterial street that separates Korean War Veterans Plaza from Cadman Plaza Park. DOT’s approved Tillary-Adams Streetscape Improvement Plan will widen sidewalks and narrow Tillary St crosswalks to create a better link between these two parks. Integrate the Korean War Veteran Plaza into the surrounding neighborhoods through improving accessibility and lighting, limiting unnecessary vehicular access, creating additional plaza space, and emphasizing this significant memorial. Across Tillary St on Cadman Plaza South, the approach to Cadman Plaza Park from Downtown Brooklyn can be redesigned to encourage uses which complement the successful active uses on the popular turf playing field to the north. Two existing structures could also be renovated for destination concession uses and public amenities such as restrooms. Brooklyn Strand Urban Design Action Plan — May 2016 WXY 36
