Lawn Pilot

For decades, Fort Greene Park’s largest lawn was known simply as “the dust bowl.” In 2021, in partnership with NYC Parks, Central Park Conservancy, and Fort Greene PUPS, we launched the Lawn Pilot, an initiative to restore the central lawn so all park users—people and dogs—can continue to enjoy this area of the park for active and passive use for years to come. With the introduction of lawn rotations, and improved messaging to park users, what used to be an area to avoid is now first pick for picnics and just hanging out.
