Cooper Park

Cooper retired from the glue business in 1838 and sold the factory to his family members.

In 1895, Cooper's family sold the site of the Maspeth Avenue factory to The City of Brooklyn for $55,000.

[3] The main attractions of the park include a dog run and the Carnegie Playground.

That year, a contract was entered to supply the park with one thousand cubic yards of soil.

Additionally, the pathways of the park were re-paved with asphalt tiles, replacing the former walkways that were composed of cinder and gravel.

[5] In 1906, the City of New York started construction on a shelter house at Cooper Park.

It has been reported to have acceptable conditions, the majority of the time, throughout the past decade by the Parks Inspection Program (PIP).
