Two Bridges Tower Green Playground

Work recently wrapped up on a green infrastructure installation at Two Bridges Tower located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The project re- developed a playground with rain gardens totaling 3,292 square feet, which will capture more than 226,000 gallons of stormwater each year! The newly installed green infrastructure will reduce neighborhood flooding and help to improve the health of the nearby East River.

Construction began in October 2021 and concluded in December. The project was made possible, in part, thanks to a $280,000 grant provided through DEP’s Green Infrastructure Grant Program.
