Paths to Pier 42 Project Rehabilitates Waterfront With Art, Events | The Lo-Down : News from the Lower East Side

Giacinto Frisillo, a contributor at The Lo-Down, has been volunteering with the Hester Street Collaborative as part of their Paths to Pier 42 project on the East River waterfront between Montgomery and Cherry streets. She reports on the progress toward creating public art and events, and how to get involved. Pier 42 will host temporary art exhibits and community events this summer, while plans for permanent redevelopment proceed. Arriving at Pier 42 for a community volunteer day, I was welcomed to the bustling “Banana Pier” by Hester Street Collaborative’s Dylan House. “People who grew up in the area still call it that because of all the tropical fruits that used to be processed through here,” House says.

Pier 42 Community Day To be Held Saturday | The Lo-Down : News from the Lower East Side

This coming weekend, local organizations are inviting Lower East Side residents to a section of Pier 42, just north of Montgomery Street, for a community day. As you may have heard, the Parks Department is moving ahead with plans to turn the old pier into a green space, an extension of East River Park. This summer there will be a series of art, educational and design installations at the pier, beginning with the event on Saturday. Visitors will be able to build model depicting their visions for the space, meet the artists who will be involved in the installations, learn about river ecology and tour the pier. The community day is hosted by the LES waterfront Alliance, including CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities, Good Old Lower East Side, Hester Street Collaborative, Lower East Side Ecology Center, 267/275 Cherry Street Tenants Association, Two Bridges Neighborhood Council and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and State Sen. Daniel Squadron.

The Fireboat House in East River Park Goes Green | The Lo-Down : News from the Lower East Side

The new green roof at the Fireboat House in East River Park, home to the Lower East Side Ecology Center As the extremely extended makeover of East River Park finally seems to be nearing completion, the park now includes far more plant life than it has recent years. But green space is always at a premium in NYC, as the Lower East Side Ecology Center knows well. Last month, the not-for-profit, which provides community based compost and recycling programs and encourages stewardship of green spaces throughout the city, installed a “green roof” on the Fireboat House, its newly renovated facility in East River Park. The green roof is a bed of plant life located directly on top of the building, which served as a base for firefighters patrolling the river in the 1930s. It will help keep the building cool in warm months, and should grow more full and vibrant with time.
