Adam Yauch Park dedicated in Brooklyn today.
What’s gonna set you free
Look inside and you’ll see
When you’ve got so much to say
It’s called gratitude & that’s right!
Thanks, MCA, for everything!

Subterranean public space? It (sort of) works in Montreal…
A rendering of the “Low Line,” a potential subterranean equivalent to New York City’s stunning High Line park. Fingers crossed that this comes to fruition.

A great photo tour of the newly-completed Georgetown Waterfront Park, via The Georgetown Metropolitan.
Rode through the newly-opened Georgetown Waterfront Park on my commute in this morning — It’s great addition to the neighborhood, and I think this fountain/sprinkler is going to be a big hit with kids of all ages.
What would it take to bring this to DC?
The next time you get mugged in Central Park, you’ll be able to tell the world about it in real time.
That’s because AT&T is launching 26 new Wi-Fi hot spots in 20 different parks in New York’s five boroughs, including the Joyce Kilmer Park in the Bronx, Astoria Park in Queens and, yes, Central Park in Manhattan. AT&T says that the hot spots are free to use for AT&T customers and non-customers alike. The company is also doing this work without any charge to New York taxpayers, as it says that “this is an investment and service we’re proud to make in New York City.”
AT&T is already offering the hot spots in certain areas of Battery Park, Joyce Kilmer Park and Thomas Jefferson Park, with the rest of the hot spots to be launched periodically throughout the summer. The only thing you need to connect to the hot spots is a Wi-Fi-capable device, AT&T says.
Nice shot of Gravelly Point (where I proposed to Liz) from this morning’s Washington Post
A man takes an early morning jog at Gravelly Point in Arlington County as a dense fog settles over the Potomac River on Monday.
Franklin Square park, in DC. I know it’s not the smallest national park, but it must be close.
