Jane's Carousel Pavilion, Brooklyn Bridge Park

 Work continues on the glass pavilion that will house Jane's Carousel in the Empire-Fulton Ferry section of Brooklyn Bridge Park. (Work is also continuing on the Brooklyn Bridge, seen shrouded overhead in the photo above.)

 The pavilion was designed by Pritzker Prize winning architect Jean Nouvel. According to Dumbo NYC, it should be ready by this August.

Jane Walentas restored the historic 1922 carousel made by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company over the course of two decades.The Walentas family is donating the carousel to the park.

    I do not look forward to the expense that this will cause for upkeep down the road. Maybe the Waltentas family should bequeath a life time fund for it not the people of New York.

    From what I understand, other than the $2 to ride the Carousel, no cost will be on the citizens of New York. I think the Walentas family is not only donating the Carousel but will also be upkeeping it.
