Brooklyn Bridge Park

This is one of my favorite summertime places in the city -- from movies under the Brooklyn Bridge to ecological volunteer work, it's both a beautiful setting and a relaxing space. Also: they have free public WiFi (no small matter) and are in close proximity to Grimaldi's (expect a line) and the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. In warmer months, Smorgasburg (Sundays at the Tobacco Warehouse) offers gastronomic pleasures of infinite proportions with food vendors beyond your wildest imagination.

The most breathtaking park in Brooklyn hosts views of the East River, the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge. You'll see wedding parties, couples strolling, dogs, babies, old folks, young folks -- the gamut of human life comes here. Romantic, with film screenings in the summer and Narnia-like views in the winter of lampposts against a wintry endless wonderland. Ride Jane's Carousel to complete the magic experience, and then return to yummy reality with pizza at Grimaldi's or ice cream at Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.

It will take years for the entire park to be completed. Most of it will be built on a series of massive piers, where ships were formerly unloaded. One of the piers (# 5)...

A playground attracts youngsters, while visitors of all ages stretch out on the lawn and enjoy views of both the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges.

Great place to enjoy the view of Manhattan or the Brooklyn Bridge. Good restaurants nearby. Some vendors in the park and a bar there too. Not too much to do otherwise

This park offers exceptional photo ops of the Manhattan Skyline. Lots of shops and restaurants outside the park in Dumbo. A great way to spend an afternoon.

Awesome to come by at night, especially if you’re into photography!
Be sure to wrap up warm, it gets pretty cold at night!

Brooklyn Bridge Park is an 85-acre stretch of green space that lies between two of New York's greatest landmarks: the bustling Manhattan Bridge and the gorgeous Brooklyn Bridge. There are stunning views of the New York Harbor, the glittering Manhattan skyline and the beautiful Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Pier 1 of Brooklyn Bridge Park opened in the spring of 2010 and has been one of the most...

Brooklyn Bridge Park in Brooklyn has new ‘destination’ playgrounds, including a Water Lab to cool off in summer, Slide Mountain, Swing Valley and the baby friendly Sandbox Village. Jane’s Carousel, in a glass-enclosed pavilion, has restored horses from 1922.
