Boerum Hill Association (BHA) board members Daughtry Carstarphen and Hannah Mason are staunch advocates and leaders of a friends group for 16 Sycamores Park, a small pocket park on the corner of Schermerhorn Street and Third Avenue. Their hard work has paid off.

Look for the comfort station re-opening later this year as work begins on the playground renovation. Click below to see the plan for the new playground.

We thank Borough President Marty Markowitz, the Parks Department, former Councilmember David Yassky and current Councilmember Steve Levin for support and funding for this project.

Our original Boerum Hill Pub Walk is repeating itself: on July 14th and August 11th – both Tuesday nights, at 7:30. Same route as last time. Same awesome commentary and historic photos from Erik. Same inane witty banter from Chuck the tour guide. And most important, the same great bars. 

If you missed out on the first one, now’s your chance. Just $10. 7:30pm at the corner of Court & Atlantic. Call 646-320-5657 or email bha.pubwalk@gmail.com for more info. Or read the original post/press release. 

Cheers!

PS: This tour will not run in September or October so we can prepare for our next great, all-new pub walk — Haunted Boerum Hill — so act now or miss it forever!
