The park takes its name from nearby Fort Hamilton, one the oldest continuously garrisoned federal military posts. Today over 200 Army Reserve and National Guard units are supported at Fort Hamilton.
In 1986, Parks unofficially renamed the site Pigeon Park in recognition of the large number that the park attracts . Some scientists estimate that today New York City is home to > 7 million pigeons.
Just ran into the Parks official who manages this park . Even she doesn't have a key to the padlocks. Bring a bolt cutter or maybe just call 311 to complain #occupybayridge
Good place to get some thinking done.
A nice spot, but watch out for crack heads
