Ever walked through a decommissioned reservoir?

Highland Park, located on the border of Brooklyn and Queens, is home to Ridgewood Reservoir, a decommissioned reservoir that provided water to residents of Brooklyn for approximately a century. Restoration efforts are in full effect, so we took a tour to check out a recently-opened pathway along side the reservoir.
