Beautiful park in Greenpoint Brooklyn. Went to walk around and to check out the Farmer’s Market there on a sunny Sunday. All sorts of people, human families & dog families there. Awesome!
I grew up in this park and have seen the many renovations and work over the years. Today, it is even better than ever, with a great community, well kept space, farmers market, and events. The fields are always welcoming and full of picnics, kids playing, and dogs with their humans enjoying the dog park. It’s one of the few green spaces in the area. Lots of beautiful old trees, flowers, and general beautiful landscaping. We love to lay on the grass and bird watch and have even heard of a resident skunk. The pavilion in the center of the park allows for some shelter, whether you are getting together with a group or need to get out of the rain. There is a palpable sense of community in this intimate neighborhood gem. Enjoy live music often played by local musicians, take and even enjoy coffee, food, baked goods, and ice cream all surrounding the park.
Love this park as it is usually green through the year and has ample space to walk and sit. What I love about this park is that it’s never over crowded and yet it never feels empty either. The greenery is just stunning and given the size of the park you could totally escape the city noises for a bit and immerse yourself in some nature.
There are a few areas to put down a mat and make a picnic or you could just use the picnic tables/benches in the park too. There is a public restroom and a kids play areas with swings, slides and also a water fountain where they can run around in the hot summer days.
On Sundays there is a farmers market along with a donation drop off until around 3pm. The market is open throughout the year except during the colder winter months.
The dog park is a good size and there are benches for the owners to sit down and hangout while the dogs are playing.
There are a few beautifully sculpted metal sculptures. Squirrels and pigeons along with everyday birds can be see here through the year.
There are a few good places to get coffee, drinks, pizza and groceries or even a proper meal to enjoy at the park a few yards from the park.
Has a bit of everything, there´s passive lawn, there´s playground for kids, there’s a dog pen, on weekends there´s a farmers market during the morning.
A perfect little park for a walk about. With kids or dogs or an old lady. Happened to be there right after a quick snowfall in December adding just the right feeling for a White Xmass.
