West Brighton, Staten Island
Founded in 2014

West Brighton Community Garden was built by GrowNYC and NYC Parks GreenThumb as part of the 2014 Gardens for Healthy Communities program within the Mayor's Obesity Task Force Initiative.

The 9,000 square foot garden is located near Corporal Thompson Park and next to the West Brighton Swimming Pool.  It currently features 25 raised garden beds, picnic tables, a shade structure, and rainwater harvesting system.

 

This garden is under the jurisdiction of NYC Parks and supported by GreenThumb, the nation's largest urban gardening program. If you are interested in joining, starting, or supporting a community garden, contact NYC Parks GreenThumb
