I absolutely love bringing my dogs to this park! There are so many happy dogs and friendly people here, it’s always a great time. It’s the perfect spot for them to run around and socialize, and I can’t get enough of the positive energy. Highly recommend it for any dog owner!
Great view of the city. They have a soccer field and playground. Bathrooms are on site as well. Good place to have a picnic and a party for the kids.
Such a cute little park and waterfront promenade area! We’re all in Quarantine now, but plenty of dogs out and a modest group of people enjoying the weather today. We tried to stay 6ft away from everyone. The dogs were having a party. Nice grass area, it’s clean, and had a great view of NYC to the west and LIC to the north. In the summer this will be a really great gem in the topmost corner of Greenpoint 👍🏾.
Perfect park to relax or take a walk. There also are play areas for kids and adults. Great views of the NYC skyline and waterway. This time of year is a bit chilly so bring a sweater or light jacket. Restrooms are across the street in the park but not the cleanest. Parking is horrible since there is construction. If you want to shop or eat you have to go away from this area.
I grew up in this Greenpoint neighborhood and I’ve seen so many things change . The beauty of this park is amazing especially in the night . Come with your family and enjoy a picnic with views. There is also a big playground and field to play baseball or soccer. I recommend this place for a perfect daytime stroll with your pet or children .
