- JackOld Bethpage, New York3,377 contributionsBeautiful parkBrooklyn Bridge Park is so beautiful! It connects to the bike and walking path that stretches all the way down the coast of Brooklyn, which is nice. It also has amazing views of the Manhattan Skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge of course. It is a great park just to relax in as well. I highly recommend!Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 10 June 2024

This park is fantastic. It is probably one of the best parks in New York City for the views alone. You truly feel like your in Hollywood with the back drop of the city and the overview of Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge. From a distance you can see the Statue of Liberty and the busy traffic of the New York waters. The park itself is such an amazing getaway to spend time with family and friends.

The Brooklyn Bridge was completed in 1883. It connects the NYC boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The bridge was the first fixed crossing of the East River. The Brooklyn Bridge Park is a glorious revival of an industrial wasteland, taking in 85 acres (34 hectares) and 1,3 miles (2 km) of revitalized waterfront. Following an agreement between the State and NYC governments, work on the park began in 2007. We stayed in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, the area is quite safe these days, and the Brooklyn Bridge Park makes a good walk.

Very special park, with magnificent views of Manhattan. We arrived by Metro and were walking with the view of the beautiful New York skyline. We made our visit in the morning which helped make the photos we took impressive as the light came in from the east.
In addition, it is a place that is not overcrowded with people like much of the rest of the city when we visited, which is appreciated in NYC.
We took a delightful walk and to finish we took a ferry that took us to Wall Street in a few minutes. Totally recommended.

I changed my major at Temple this year to geography and urban studies and people think I’m a geography buff!! I am not that much of one but city life and cities bring me much joy!! I did a random presentation once about bathrooms in the city and how ladies always need to wait in very long lines!! I put a picture of the Bryant park bathroom and walked past it a few days after and I ran into someone who I haven’t talked to since fifth grade!! I happen to enjoy parks in the city and I went to this park today!! It was very green and had a lot of trees and flowers!! I happen to think nature is very good for a busy man who wants to chill!! They had a volleyball court and fountains and also a pizza place which we got lunch at!!

If you make it to Brooklyn when in NYC you have to stop here. The view is just incredible. Breath taking if you like a good skyscraper view. It was one of if not the best picture spot we found during our trip. It's right on the water so it is windy and a tad chilly sometimes so maybe bring a pony tail and a jacket.

TIPS
1. Best time to go is the morning. Mostly people walking dogs, kids in strollers, runners and bicyclists.
2. Avoid the crowds near the foot of Brooklyn Bridge especially on weekends and holidays.
3. If you have young kids or are sensitive to second-hand smoke, know that the pot smokers all come out at night, ruining the fresh air near the water and on the lawns.

We had initially visited the Brooklyn bridge but later discovered the best view comes from the Brooklyn bridge park. So visited again. There is also multi-brand restaurants place there which was quite happening.

I love getting to visit Brooklyn Bridge Park! Everyone likes to take instagram photos of DUMBO on Water St, but I think this park is the best. You have amazing views of the bridge and the Statue of Liberty if you walk down farther. There is plenty of space to run or walk your dog, and in the summer time, there are workout classes in the evenings and tons of programming and events. Pebble beach and the carousel some of my favorite spots.

Does anyone know how to contact the Artist named Albert (he is from Croatia) and his work is pencil drawings on white paper, which he does at the Brooklyn end of the pedestrian walkway on the Bridge?
We bought a drawing from him, he rolled it into a small tube to carry / and then we lost it on a subway ride just an hour or two later.
Does anyone know if he is on Insta or FB or what his last name is, how to contact him?
Thanks.

But please, use official MTA site for current train route status, as well as MTA Weekender if you travel on weekends. Trains change their routes on weekends very often. That's New York.

From NJT Secaucus, take NJT one more stop to NY Penn Station. Then take the subway - Downtown A, C, or E to High Street. Cross the street, walk thru Cadman Plaza Park, veer left & the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge walkway will be to your left.
