The public will not be able to view the 4th of July fireworks from Hunters Point South Park and will have to go to Gantry Plaza State Park to watch them, according to the Parks Department.
Hunters Point South Park is expected to be used as a staging area by Macy’s and it will also be where NBC is stationed to shoot the show. The park will be cordoned off.
“Hunters Point South will be closed on the Fourth of July to facilitate operations for the fireworks show,” the Parks Department said in a statement, adding that Gantry Plaza State Park and areas east and north of Hunters point will be open for viewing.
