Name That Lawn Contest.

Here's a fun contest being put on by Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy! They're asking folks to name a lawn on Pier 6.  It doesn't say what you'll win but just having a lawn named after your idea seems pretty cool in itself.  (There will no doubt be some sort of prize as well).  You have until March 20th to think of a name.  For more info visit their site.

The 15th Eileen C. Dugan Memorial 5K is now open for registration.  This 5K was held at Brooklyn Bridge Park last year and it's back! It will be held on Saturday, April 6th at 9:00 am this year and although they've added 100 more spots for participants this year it's still going to fill up fast so if you'd like to join do it now and register here today. The proceeds will go back into the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy and all it's wonderful free events and programs!
