Drake AKA Jimmy Brooks Lands in NYC Park Proposal

The NYC Parks Department are planning on renovating Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Park to become ‘more accessible and user friendly’ and well, who do they use to illustrate their new design? Drake AKA Jimmy Brooks!

As the website Brokelyn reports, Jimmy was photoshopped onto a ramp that they plan on building close to the entrance of the park.

If you were and still are a ‘Degrassi: The Next Generation’ fan then you’ll know that’s where Drake played Jimmy, a high-school teen who ended up in a wheelchair because he was shot by another student.

Not only can you see Drake as Jimmy in the background but the proposal also includes an image of rapper Akon laughing in the foreground.

You can find the plan on page 52 of the ‘official proposal’ that was submitted by The Landmarks Preservation Commission earlier this week.

The NYC Parks Assistant Commissioner of Communications told Pitchfork, “Started from the bottom of Fort Greene Park’s signature hill, now we’re here with the final design, which takes care to create a more welcoming park entrance with improved views.”
