Cooper Park is an urban park in Brooklyn, New York City, between Maspeth Avenue, Sharon Street, Olive Street, and Morgan Avenue in East Williamsburg. It was established in 1895 and covers 6.40 acres (2.59 ha).[1]
Cooper Park was once the site of an old glue factory owned by American industrialist Peter Cooper.[2] He started his glue business in Kips Bay, in 1821. In 1838, he moved his business from Kips Bay to Maspeth Avenue in Brooklyn. Cooper retired from the glue business in 1838 and sold the factory to his family members. In 1878, the business left Maspeth Avenue, and eventually left Brooklyn for good in the 20th century. In 1895, Cooper's family sold the site of the Maspeth Avenue factory to The City of Brooklyn for $55,000. From there, the site was cleared and became Cooper Park.[3]
The main attractions of the park include a dog run and the Carnegie Playground. There is also a variety of sports facilities including two basketball courts, four handball courts, two tennis courts, two volleyball courts and a skate park.[1] A public bathroom and spray shower are present as well.[4]
