The old toilets used to have a long line during high summer months. The new facilities did not appear to have any lines on a recent weekend day. The building was after all intended as a bathhouse to provide toilets.

The McCarren Play Center was designated a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2007. The pool was used for concerts between 2005 and 2008, and the pool and play center were restored in 2012. The southern portion primarily consists of a lake, while the northern half includes an amphitheatre, bandshell, soccer fields, and children's playground, along with a recreation center operated by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks. The bandshell was once home to many organizations and events, such as Jugaremos en Familia (a live event hosted by Memo Flores for the Hispanic community).

There’s lots of outdoor seating at picnic tables on the back patio, and several new bathrooms, and a terrific lineup of food and drink vendors, anchored by what is instantly one of Brooklyn’s great sandwich shops, Club Club. Since 2007, Greenpointers has been a neighborhood connector and hyperlocal resource for all things North Brooklyn covering the latest news, happenings, events, food and culture. The building that houses McCarren Parkhouse was restored by Brooklyn-based KTISMAStudios. The bar at Park Bar was designed by Greenpoint’s own Tri-lox.

From the station, walk north on Vermont Avenue towards Hollywood Boulevard, turn left onto Barnsdall Avenue and enter through the Southeast entrance. Metro 4, 204, 704, and 754 on Vermont and on Hollywood all stop within half a block of Barnsdall. “Residents and local advocates who spoke at the meeting were generally in favor of the project, although there were some concerns over amplified music (it was suggested to not have it in order to not disturb other park-goers),” reported Brownstoner.

Its original dark red Harvard brick with limestone details had been painted red and black to conceal years of graffiti and the green tile roof was replaced with standing metal seam. In the middle of everything is the Park Bar, serving cocktails (frozen and not), draft wine, and a bunch of different beers. The space itself, designed by KITSMAstudio, is pleasant and airy, the entire windowed wall in the back opening up onto the patio and into the park. And remarkably, in a neighborhood that’s seen so much sterile new development in recent years, Park House carries forward some of those indie-sleaze hipster vibes that were so prevalent around here in the mid-aughts.

It is 35 acres of bustling activity, shared by families born into the neighborhood, recent immigrants, and young renters. McCarren Park is home to the McCarren Park Pool and Play Center, a respite on hot days and a year-round center of community life. A new wall was built to connect the old building to a new maintenance structure. It cause a lot of confusion for patrons accustomed to walking around the bathhouse. The coffee shop has pastries and light food from one of the new extensions added to the back of the building.

He was born and raised in Southern California and attended Saint Mary’s College of California. More than 160 homeless people were moved indoors from both sides of the park in the 10 months leading up to the closure, according to numbers provided by Cedillo’s office. One unlikely survivor is Mildred’s original modest home, ‘1143 Corvallis Street, where all the houses looked alike’, which is 1143 North Jackson Street at East Stocker Street in Glendale, a couple of miles southeast from the real estate office.

Find out about pool hours, swim programs, pool rules, and more. We have yet to confirm an official opening date but it looks like this part of the park, which is popular among picnickers and sunbathers, will have a new addition this summer. The NYC Parks Department awarded the business to Aaron Broudo and Belvy Klein, who formerly operated Greenpoint’s now-shuttered Brooklyn Night Bazaar and currently run the popular boardwalk concessions at Jacob Riis Park and Rockaway Beach. Although there are umbrellas on the picnic tables, the sun was intense. Landscaping has been added to shield the tables from the park and creates a kind of permeable fence.

The fourth vendor, Blank Street is a small-format coffee chain. The small coffeeshop serves coffee beverages, seasonal drinks, and pastries at an affordable price point. Club Club offers sandwiches and sides from New York restaurant veterans Matthew Calender and Alexandia Atencio.

The spot offers seasonal frozen and classic cocktails, like frozen margaritas or a cherry blossom drink with rum, that range from $10 to $14 apiece. The drinks are available for both on-site and to-go orders, with food. "That afternoon, several children were playing in a bounce house when a strong gust of wind sent it airborne into the neighboring lot," Pinal County Sheriff's Office said. Authorities from the Pinal County Sheriff officials say they were called at approximately 5 p.m. Bel Air Road outside of Casa Grande, Arizona, according to the police statement detailing the incident.

The restoration also includes the highly-anticipated and appreciated bathroom facilities. Club Club will be in charge of American classics and seasonal sides, while Park Bar will delight guests with drinks such as beers, wines, and cocktails. Oddfellows will instead be serving delicious ice cream, and visitors will be able to grab a coffee and seasonal drinks and pastries at the Blank Street outpost.

In A Woman of Paris (1923) Charles Chaplin uses the north side of the park and the Ansonia in two scenes. MacArthur Park/Westlake Park and its boats figure prominently as the scene of a murder in the 1949 film noir Killer Bait (also known as Too Late for Tears) with Lizabeth Scott, Don DeFore, Dan Duryea and Arthur Kennedy. In 1973 'The Phantom of Herald Square' an episode of the TV horror anthology series 'Circle of Fear' included a significant number of scenes filmed within the park. A scene from the 1977 TV movie The Amazing Spider-Man was filmed here. A patio built into the back of the building includes picnic tables with umbrellas. The patio overlooks a grassy area commonly used for picnics and where people are often seen enjoying beverages with alcohol.

As more people use the entrance, it’s like that a persistent muddy patch forms where the grass and the patio meet. McCarren Park House was initially designed in 1911 by McKim, Mead & White as a comfort station with locker rooms. Over the course of the past several decades, the building fell into disrepair.
