It's My Park Day! Sunset Park

Sunset Play Center, Sunset Park, originally uploaded by New York Big Apple Images.

Just wanted to share some information. Back in 2009, a small group of residence came together to do something about the obscene amount of trash that accumulated in the park. They came out every weekend to pick up trash and soon earned notability in the area. Today, residence and community groups from Sunset Park still come together to help keep the park clean of trash.

Learn how to volunteer with some of these groups on It's my Park Day! May 19, 2012 in Sunset Park's park, Brooklyn.

If we all do a little, we can help " improve the best view in Brooklyn."

D Train Station on 39 street and 9 ave.
-> When I went for a bike ride in the area, I noticed this station was being cleaned. This gentlemen was nice enough to share his progress. Just before shooting this, he was showing some before and after cleaning pictures on his phone. It is coming along nicely.
