Kids in the Park
 Hi! We're building a Cohousing community by adaptively reusing an old warehouse in the borough of Brooklyn in the nation's biggest city. We've got a beautiful site, a beautiful design, and 16 of the 30 households our building has space for. Be a part of the first cohousing community in New York City. Go to our website to see plans for our sites plus information on how to join and who we are. Be sure to read our Vision Statement. If you like it, join us.
