Naval Cemetery Landscape | Marvel

The Brooklyn Naval Cemetery Landscape is a 1.7-acre publicly accessible landscape. Formerly a military burial site, the location now serves as a point of respite and reflection along the length of a fourteen-mile waterfront greenway in Brooklyn, with entry from Williamsburg Street West, between Flushing and Kent Avenues. As a part of the Navy Yard, the site had been largely off-limits and out-of-sight to the public since its use as a cemetery was decommissioned in the 1920’s. After the renovation, the natural grove has now become the perfect setting for art exhibits, educational programs, and group activities, establishing links between the local residents, youth , and visitors and reacquainting them with the significance of the site.
