WNYC Transmitter Park


WNYC Transmitter Park is a 6.61-acre public park located where Greenpoint Avenue dead-ends by the East River shoreline, in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The site was acquired by the public radio station WNYC in 1935 as the site of twin antennae used for broadcasting. From 1937 to 1990, the city-operated station broadcast its AM signal from this location. Following the adoption of antennae in Kearny, New Jersey and atop the World Trade Center, the Greenpoint property sat unused. Ground was broken for WNYC Transmitter Park in August 2010, followed by four years of construction.
