Go here to get a complete view of what it feels like to be in Bushwick!!
Today’s Maria Hernandez Park, between Knickerbocker and Irving avenues, is very significant to Bushwick’s history because it’s named after a local hero. As the largest community park in the neighborhood described by the Parks Department as a “plaza with a wild undulating design” and with a baseball diamond. On Aug. 8, 1989, Hernandez died from gunshot wounds and the park was renamed in her memory. Maria Hernandez Park was rehabilitated in 1994 as a neighborhood center, adding a dog run and a performance stage. Sporting events replaced drug sales. Awards were bestowed on the park in 2006 and 2007. The mixed ethnic groups of Scandinavians, Italians, Puerto Ricans, African Americans and Dominicans are now joined by newcomers: millennials, hipsters, artists and Muslims who are surging to freshly revived Brooklyn neighborhoods.
