Summary[edit]

Description
English: Looking east at Harold Ickes Playground and the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel ventilation building, at.Van Brunt Street and Summit Street / Hamilton Avenue in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The park sits atop the Brooklyn portal for the tunnel, transferred to the Parks Department following the completion of the tunnel. The playground is named after Harold L. Ickes, who oversaw New Deal and PWA projects under FDR, although he rejected PWA funding for the Battery Tunnel. Also, apparently he suggested that Robert Moses be appointed the head of the National Parks Service. One could only imagine how that would have turned out.
