Here are a few things to know about Watson-Williams Elementary School fifth-grader Friday Moon.

Paths to walk and ride horse-drawn carriages on, just over the Starch Factory Creek, used to greet visitors to Frederick T. Proctor Park.
The 8-acre triangular wedge, nestled between the creek, Bleecker Street and Masonic Care Community of New York, is now overgrown with trees and invasive species. Hints of the portion of the park’s former glory have been unearthed, which was originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.
Some long-time residents of the area remember something used to be across the creek, which was once spanned by a trio of bridges. Today, only one bridge built by the Works Progress Administration in 1940, crosses the creek.
