Figures. No sooner did I shoot an email to the communications director at The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy about when Pier 6 would be open to the public, then I saw this in The Brooklyn Paper.

Guests at a sneak preview of Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 6 on Saturday hailed an expansive playground — including a water park, giant sandbox and swings galore — as living up to the hype. The pier will open in June and offer a maze of different play areas for children among trees and tall grass. But later this summer, the real all-ages fun begins: a dog run, three sand volleyball courts, a restaurant with roof access, and even a plant marsh will join the mix.

Though it looks AWESOME, I do worry (hopefully for naught) about how hot those metal slides are going to be. I have no idea exactly what they are made of, but hopefully they thought it all out this time.
