Fountain Avenue

Fountain Avenue is a north–south running street in Brooklyn, New York. Traffic on the avenue is bidirectional for most of its length.

Its north end is at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Conduit Avenue. The south end, previously a swampland-like landfill near the Erskine Street exit off the Belt Parkway,^[1] has been developed as part of the neighborhood of Spring Creek and Shirley Chisholm State Park, built on the former Fountain Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue landfills. For many years, this segment of Fountain Avenue, between Flatlands Avenue and the Belt Parkway, was undeveloped and used primarily as a site for illegal drag racing.
