They stole the soul of the park. I can say with confidence that I have never seen Dean St Park so UNDER used before. The park mostly benefits the (new condo) families who's nannies take their children to the park while they are at work, usually between the hours of 10am - 1pm.<br /><br /><br />@Brooklyn Born, the mural in the park during the 70's read "IND Dancers" (International Dancers."

The chemical mix intended to adhere it to the ground was judged too toxic from what I heard.<br /><br />Question for you, I remember playing in that park in the 70's and that mural in the photo above was vibrant and more solid. Do you have any memories of it? If so would you know when/how/who painted it? Any info is appreciated.<br /><br />I love helping coax or revisit memories from Brooklynites so I'm glad you enjoyed the post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437242130709591270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998432848415030405.post-40173435864129079992009-11-04T13:13:46.037-05:002009-11-04T13:13:46.037-05:00Wow!

I grew up on that very block in an apartment house that unfortunately is no longer there. Years ago the Daily News bought a number of the row houses, razed them and used the space as a parking lot. I attended St. Joseph's Parochial School on Dean and Vanderbilt and my sister was married at St. Jospeh's Church in 1969. Thanks for the memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
