Daily News | A 33-acre wetland project at FDR Park will break ground soon
FDR Park, which was carved out of tidal marshes, has a problem: Huge swaths are chronically flooded. An effort to mitigate flooding, however, is on the horizon as the city plans to break ground this month on a 33-acre wetland project in the southwest section of the park.
To create the wetland, invasive growth, as well as decades of debris and other materials dumped in the area over time, will be excavated to create the low-lying conditions needed for the habitat. Then, 7,000 trees and 1,700 bushes and shrubs suitable will be planted. “Humans aren’t losing anything, but the habitat has a lot to gain through this transition,” she said.
The excavated soil will be set aside north of the wetland project in a temporary hill up to 30 feet high. Once stable, the hill will be planted with grasses and incorporated into an existing trail system until it’s needed for future projects, including plans to raise the park’s former golf course, which was closed in 2019 amid declining interest, above sea level.
