Located in Queens NY near to Brooklyn,a beach with a boardwalk, playgrounds full of history lies Jacob Riis Park . Named after Jacob Riis who was very famous for his pictures documenting the lives of children in the tenements of the Lower East side in Manhattan. The park is the use of many immigrants who do not speak English and this is a challenge for the park managers. They need to discover how to satisfy these new immigrants’ needs of recreation and cultural needs coping with the long term park users.This park does not have enough funds to keep the place proper. A REAP study was made
behavioral maps, transect walks, individual interviews and expert interviews, to understand how the integration of different cultural groups allowed to understand the landscape of the Jacob Riis Park. the reserarch was performed in specific areas such as Beach Bay 1, 5 and 6, the Mall, the Clock, the Wood Park and the back beach.
