We’re only a couple of hours away from the opening of the Pop-Up Brooklyn Bridge Park for waterfall viewing and summer lounging by the water. Here’s a bit more detail about it from the Brooklyn Bridge Park website:

Opening to the public for the first time, Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 1 will offer spectacular views of New York Harbor and The New York City Waterfalls by Olafur Eliasson, presented by the Public Art Fund. Pier 1 will also offer a cafe run by local restaurant RICE, along with picnic tables, benches, landscaping with trees and grass, and sand play area. The 26,000 square foot site was designed by landscape architects dlandstudio. SUMMER ’08 @ PIER 1 will be open June 26 – Labor Day, seven days a week, from 10:00am – 10:00pm.

Nice views included.
