The Brooklyn Banks, a historically significant skate park located under the Brooklyn Bridge, has reopened after being closed for 15 years due to necessary bridge rehabilitation. The revitalization project, undertaken by Gotham Park and pro skateboarder Tony Hawk's Skatepark Project, transformed the area into a two-acre plaza known as "The Arches". This space now includes improved seating, lush greenery, and a safer design to accommodate skateboarders. During the reopening ceremony, Mayor Eric Adams announced a $50 million investment for further enhancements, ensuring modern sports facilities and expanded public amenities for the community.
