Fellow Steemians,


In case you missed the @hitheryon announcement earlier today - we have just reached our furniture-sponsorship goal for STEEM Park! Say what now? That means each of the proposed benches and planters have a Steemit Sponsor!! (Example here.) We are thrilled to have all of your support and so excited to have such incredible representation in STEEM Park this summer.

Thank You Bench / Planter Sponsors!


We want to give a HUGE shout out to @andrarchy, @surfermarly, @fulltimegeek, @dylanhobalart, @gardenlady, @good-karma, @virtualgrowth, @clayop, @thejohalfiles, @natureofbeing and @steemed.

Thank you to all of our additional supporters! @heymattsokol @orenshani7 @meesterboom @yogi.artist @madlenfox @da-dawn @kanedizzle08 @vip @lighthil @inphiknit @airmatti @velimir @leesongyi

What is STEEM Park?


“STEEM Park” is an interactive community garden in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. Located within the historic Herbert von King Park: STEEM Park is a pop-up installation that will be used to host Steemit meetups, local community events, workshops and dozens of activities throughout the year.

Good For Community, Good for Steemit


This new neighborhood hotspot in the heart of Brooklyn will act as a colorful and dynamic billboard for the Steemit community. We ( @hansikhouse + @voronoi ) believe that this physical design project is an important and exciting proof of concept for STEEM and Steemit. We want to build something physical, lasting and impactful with cryptocurrency. Tens of thousands of people will visit Steemit Park this summer. Our team will host Steemit workshops and events for the purpose of on boarding community members and activists to the Steemit platform (this includes park visitors, park representatives, volunteers, local residents and more!)

Upvotes and donations will translate directly to funding for furniture, events, park maintenance, beautification and restoration for a neighborhood in need. This project is about discovering new ways of using STEEM and Steemit for social good!

Great project!! So impressed with what Steem can enable us to do.

@wickedcute, I think a road trip might be in order!

Summer 2017!!

Thanks for your support @wickedcute! We want Steem to change the way these community-type projects can happen. This is such an exciting proof of concept. Herbert von King Park is thrilled and would never be able to financially support an installation like this one... The possibilities are endless.

what a great idea! upvoted

Thanks for your support!

This is amazing. I am moving to brooklyn (prospect park) area soon so excited!

Fantastic! Make sure to check it out next month!

I just joined the site and already learn that there even is physical projects like this one! That's crazy! Upvoted and resteemed. Great idea! :)

Welcome to Steemit @gingergirl! Great to have you on board. Very glad you stumbled on this post :D

Followed you as well, looking forward to seeing more content like this and updates on the project. :)

Good idea, keep up the good work!

Glad you like it! We're working hard behind the scenes, much more to come!

Sounds great, can't wait for the opening! Count me in!

Excellent, thanks for your support @agstakzzz!

What a noble idea you got there, this project will announce the taking over of the world by steemit. Weldon, keep the good job , I will like to visit the garden one of this days.

Thanks so much @hynet!

Resteemed!! This is so off the charts awesome :D Thank you to all of those supporting this fantastic project!

Wow thanks, we're very grateful for the support!!

OMG - Please excuse my French but this is EFFIN BRILLIANT!!!! Since I joined last Wednesday, I've been reading so many posts to get a feel for the community on here and it has already been amazing. B-U-T this---THIS -- this is COMMUNITY at it's best right here. By far this is the best idea I've seen. I love sustainable design, architecture, and anything related to design -- furniture included. You guys really created something special here and the sponsors who jumped on this---BRAVO! This is gonna be so impactful on getting the word out about Steemit. Looks like I need to hop a flight from the SoCal desert (it's 99 degreeezzz --and that's considered good) and visit some old friends in Hells Kitchen and BROOK-LYN this summer! So inspiring guys...SO INSPIRING. Big UPS & CHEERS! ❤ ❤ ❤

Fantastic - just followed ya ✌

Thank you so much @onntastic! I'm so happy this project resonates with you. Definitely swing through Brooklyn if you ever find yourself on the East Coast. Your excitement is contagious!! :D
