Brittany SübersJuly 4, 2016There are some incredible views in the park and the sunsets are stellar. There's el fornino for food but otherwise I wouldn't suggest going on an empty stomach. Go for the scenery.

This has got to be my favorite park in New York. With views of the Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn bridges, free wifi, ice cream, lobster rolls, a ferry, and a carousel what more could you want?

Stephanie LowSeptember 1, 2014The promenade is a great side view of Brooklyn bridge. Free live screening of the US open (and food). Great for picnics and a short walk to pier 5 for the weekend smorgasburg food markets.

Nasira SpellsJune 26, 2018Bring a blanket, food, drinks, and watch the sunset over Manhattan. Such a nice, relaxing spot by the East River.
Great views of the New York Skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge. The view is even better at night time. I give this park a 9.9 out of 10. It's clean, safe, relaxing and it provides plenty of activities.

Match ThisflyJuly 8, 2014Free kayaking on Saturdays at Pier 2, and I think the roller rink is open now. Get pizza at Juliana's while around there. Pizza is as good as Grimaldi's and you can get a table faster!
HashtagNYUJune 14, 2013This park boasts one of the best views of the Manhattan skyline. Admire with a pie from Grimaldi's and/or a scoop from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.
John SAugust 13, 2014There's food & drink at both ends. It's fun to meet for lunch at one end, then slowly stroll to the other, enjoy the sights, and end the day with a soft drink or a glass of wine
Candice RiveraSeptember 23, 2015This park has everything, whimsical side trails, dog swimming areas, public art, food, drinks, restaurants, great city and bridge view, one of the most beautiful spots in NYC

Louis VuittonMay 2, 2012New and accessible by walking over the Brooklyn Bridge. The best of both worlds with stunning views of Manhattan from Brooklyn Bridge Park. Bring your beachwear for summer fun in the sun.

Travel + LeisureJuly 30, 2012Jane’s Carousel is a beautifully restored merry-go-round in a pavilion designed by Jean Nouvel. After a ride on the horses, head across the street to Grimaldi’s for its world-famous thin-crust pizza.
Beautiful spot to ride your bike, take a walk or just chill & enjoy the magnificent view of the city from across the water.
- Tayyare FlyingSeptember 29, 2015Very good place to take pictures with a very good downtown manhattan and the brooklyn bridge while enjoying ice cream from Brooklyn İce Cream Factory.
Rozanne ElsAugust 4, 2018Such a beautiful park. You can lie on your back on the grass and gaze up at the bridge, or just enjoy a coffee or some me-time. Calming vibe.
Elizabeth RBAugust 14, 2011It's all about the playground on Pier 6. Best playground I have ever seen anywhere. It's beautiful early in the morning before the hoards of short people...aka children arrive.
nikki austinJanuary 30, 2015Great during the sunrise/sunset. Great view, feels secluded. Clean, we didn't see any trash on the ground or in the water.
- Amazing view of the Manhattan Skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge. Lots of people like to walk along the bridge and finish their journey here with the nearby Shake Shack!
Probably my favorite park in NYC, in part because of the skyline views but mostly because of the Michael Van Valkenburgh design.
Ubeyd DalmisDecember 17, 2015If exotic bird watching is your thing, the Cove at Brooklyn Bridge Park is the place to be. From April to May, over 60 different species flock to this area. Read about more nature spots on MetroFocus Read more

Go an hour before sunset to get the best pictures.- Cardwell BeachApril 2, 2015Great spot to work in the springtime.
