The Corcoran Group • November 6, 2013Snag a seat at one of the tables and take in some prime people watching, and some beautiful buildings surrounding the park.

Gabby H. • October 16, 2013Locals refer to it as Camel Park because of the giant camel. Bathrooms. Generally clean. Can be hectic with different ages/splayed out play structures.

jake f. • September 24, 2012it's happening! next leg of the park is opening this fall, including 3 soccer fields, BBQ's, picnic tables, playground, a promenade and fishing pier.

etta y. • August 27, 2014Love jogging here. Just avoid Smorgasburg Sundays and keep in mind there is no shade on hot, super-sunny days. Clean bathrooms just off the path closer to DUMBO are a godsend.

Todd B. • August 5, 2019Soul Summit was great, well attended and I attended both, always left in sweat. Tip- wear comfort shoes, something you don’t mind getting dusty, even if you don’t dance at all (-:

Karen • June 22, 2018This park is absolutely gorgeous with many different trails for hiking. The Picnic House area is excellent for having a bbq - but you have to show up really early (7am) to secure a spot.

Kaushal A. • September 24, 2012The sculpture in the middle of the park looks like a sun dial. The reflection of the sculpture, may be a coincidence pointed to the right time assuming the floor was a clock.

Amy S. • March 10, 2015My favorite park in the city. Take a seat on the rocks, enjoy the view and unwind.
