The Flea’s founders told Bedford & Bowery about their move in an email:

It’s a bittersweet moment for us, as our flagship location in Fort Greene is where this whole trip began. With a brand-new running track laid at the [Bishop Laughlin Memorial High] school over the winter and the chance to expand beckoning at East River State Park, however, it made sense to make this move now. The Flea loved every moment of its nine years at Bishop Loughlin, and we thank everyone at the school for their partnership over the last decade.

On Sundays, Smorgasburg will still be at Breeze Hill in Prospect Park, and the Flea will still be at DUMBO's Archway under the Manhattan Bridge. The outdoor markets will open for the season in April.
