Jane's Carousel

In DUMBO's Brooklyn Bridge Park, Jane's Carousel is unlike any edition to a park I have ever seen. Jane is an artist, but this seems more in line with urban planning and conservation. Tickets are $2 a ride, which beats the Chicago Ferris Wheel by $4.

I like this weird clash of modern glass architecture designed by French architect, Nouvel, and a refurbished carousel. It seems like a fresh take on how to modernize a park.
