Yeah Seneca Village wasn't on the waterfront, it was right in the middle of the island. Plus, if you put a park on the waterfront, then the poors can enjoy the space without letting the wealthy monopolize it.
Do they have a reason for thinking it should be along the river?
I am a big fan of well dispersed and easily accessible green spaces distributed among cities for lots of reasons and am not sure I see the original intent.

Oof, sorry but there wasn't a predominately black settlement by the river to build it over so.

Central park used to be an """urban blighted""" black community that was destroyed IIRC. Really unsavory stuff.

Man, every time I think I know enough about America and that their history couldn't possibly get worse, I learn something new. 😑

Who uses left or right to determine directions in the field of Geography can't burn anyone. He should have called it west side park.
