Faber Park Located on what once was the first lead pencil factory in the United States, Faber Park is now being renovated as a centerpiece of community engagement in the Port Richmond neighborhood. The park includes a swimming pool, picnic area, skate park, rec center and playgrounds.

Challenges include difficult access to this park as there is no crosswalk and a dangerous main road, as well as toxics that linger from the industrial past (check out history here). Faber Park offers a unique view of the active Kill Van Kull waterway, passing ships, Bayonne Bridge and the harbor's first wind turbine.

Celebrating the whole of NYC at the Open Engagement festival, this mapping project utilized the famous NYC Panorama at Queens Museum, a giant 3-D map of the city. This workshop was created by Los Hibridos and Green Map NYC in spring 2014, and participants came from all over the world. We all enjoyed exploring the sites at the far ends of the city simply by walking around this "indoor helicopter tour of New York".
