Brooklyn Bridge Park lacks the $125 million needed to complete the project. Though the City is responsible for the park's construction, the park will use proceeds from food sales and fees from the adjacent condominium complex to sustain operations and maintenance. There is concerned about the degree to which the park will remain "public" if it is dependent on private financing schemes.
