Saint Edwards St, Fort Greene

St. Edwards Street runs along the West side of Fort Greene Park in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. This corner of the park boast a big beautiful children's playground withy castle shaped climbing structures and slides, as well as sprinklers, paths, benches, and tall old trees. Its gorgeous in the spring and fall.
A senior citizens home is across from the park.
On the other side of Myrtle Avenue St.Michael & Edwards church, a gorgeous stone church with turrets, spires and a statue of the Virgin Mary in the front of the building. New York City public housing projects, Ingersoll Houses and Walt Whitman houses line the street, along with the Walt Whitman branch of the Brooklyn Public Library and a school which houses both PS 67 and Community Roots Charter School. I always think its a really interesting example of urban planning, situating community resources like a school, library, and church in the center of a public housing complex. I do think it keeps the street more populated and safer. You get a perfect view of the Empire State Building looking north on St. Edwards Street.
I've worked on this street.
