Wear your helmet
This park has it all. Bike paths, large patches with green grass to have a picnic, and last but not least, the most beautiful view of the greatest city on the world from Brooklyn.
Beautiful new park at on the water overlooking manhattan. Great place for a picnic.
Many types of birds and crustaceans have made themselves at home in the salt marsh at Pier 1. We can't blame them- the view is spectacular!
Really nice park in Brooklyn...they have a really nice bike path if you like to bike!
This is home to the Brooklynites and their refuge from everyday stress. It was also designed by Olmsted and Vaux in 1867 to be different than Central Park as the people's park to relax and recreate.

Bring the kids or enjoy a run or walk in the park. A really great park except for the little shade that is provided in the water lab area
Bring a kid as all the fun things require that you be supervised by a child.
Beautiful place to bike ride with the family. If you ride to the pier you can take a nice break with a view of the skyline.
Amazing spot to hang out...
The sun and wind are stronger here than forecast elsewhere so bring an extra layer for walking here.
fun fact: just to the west of the park is the birthplace of Al Capone at 95 Navy Street.
come try and beat El D on their home turf and you're liked to go home disappointed.
When in the Fort Greene area with friends, we like to stop by here on a nice spring day for a quick pickup game of softball on one of the fields.
Take a scenic detour from walking along Eastern Parkway. Worth the couple extra minutes
Park has great dog space before 9:00am.
Highest point in Brooklyn
