The Downtown Brooklyn Partnership has unveiled ambitious plans to redesign Columbus Park, addressing its underutilization and lack of accessibility. Concepts include replacing the classical fountain with a modern water feature and removing fences to open up the space. A proposal to convert a judges' parking lot into a lawn and pavilion faces potential resistance. Overall, the redesign aims to create an inviting environment through more seating, trees, and community-oriented features, including restrooms and recreational spaces like a playground and dog run.
