Suggestions for Park near Greenwood Heights, Brooklyn

amNewYork • July 21, 2013The park that gave the neighborhood its name is a perfect place (especially at sunset) for a swim or a picnic with a knockout view of the waterfront. It also had a recent face-lift.

Jennifer B. • September 6, 2013It's a great place for kids, but if there were less kids, like none, than it would really class up the joint.

Amy S. • March 10, 2015My favorite park in the city! Aside from Grand Ferry Park (more quaint and small). If you're looking for an alternative to CP with lots of picnic spots, go!

Marisa R. • June 12, 2010Don't miss the food carts for great food/drink... esp fresh watermelon juice and corn with mayo cheese n chilli!

Whitney W. • August 1, 2010Hidden behind IKEA but definitely worth checking out. Beautiful park with awesome super-sized chaise lounges. Great views of Staten Island, the Statue of Liberty, and Jersey City.

Jim 🌮 C. • April 8, 2011Great park run by a fantastic group of people. For upcoming events and volunteer opportunities visit www.carrollparkbrooklyn.org

Kiki B. • February 26, 2016Great open space for outdoor activities

Tara W. • September 26, 2017I love Prospect Park. I've been going all my life.

Luke • September 9, 2017Probably not the Prospect Park you're looking for, but a lovely park in its own right with huge trees and a lot of stairs to help make you feel accomplished

Fodor's Travel • September 9, 2015This small pier and park, named for a fallen firefighter, has awe-inspiring views of the Statue of Liberty and across the Hudson. You won't need prompting to take pictures.

NYC Smoke-Free • May 18, 2011As of 5/23/2011, Coffey Park, along with all other NYC parks, beaches, and pedestrian plazas, is smoke-free! Learn more at www.nycsmokefree.org.

NYC Parks • April 30, 2012The skate park features a 6-foot deep 'street bowl' and a 12-foot-wide concrete "waterfall", ramps, banks, and a free form bowl.

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.

Kevin R. • August 26, 2011I actually lost a button from my jacket here in December, just before the whole park was covered in snow. And I found it again months later after the snow melted. Just a tiny, little button...

Howcast • July 21, 2011Make your trip to the park with your dog a training session to learn manners and tricks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cg5b4_EphI

Travis S. • May 22, 2018Beautiful park!

Will S. • November 20, 2015You can cover a lot more area if you drive in and cruise around. Park somewhere in the center and venture out on foot.

Judy S. • July 7, 2011The Ball Fields are the first park attraction you'll pass during the Prospect Park Walk-a-Thon on September 18th: http://twitter.com/#!/WalkforPPA

Lauren D. • April 5, 2015This is an amazing park. My favorite in Brooklyn. It's great for locals or tourists looking for a rest. It's what my tax dollars pay for and I big reason I live in the neighborhood.

Kim P. • June 16, 2014They weren't kidding, best tacos in NYC. Worth the trip to Sunset Park.

caroline • August 22, 2010By far the most masterly made pizza in Park Slope, probably all of Brooklyn, perhaps in all of New York.

Leticia d. • April 17, 2012The best park in the city! More for locals, no crowd, beautiful fields and if you're luck, you'll listen someone playing a cello or a guitar ;-)
