American Veterans Memorial Pier

The American Veterans Memorial Pier, located in Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge neighborhood, is a poignant tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes. This scenic pier extends into the Upper Bay, offering breathtaking views of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the Manhattan skyline. It’s a favorite spot for fishing, reflection, and soaking in the beauty of the waterfront. The pier also hosts “Beacon,” a memorial honoring the Brooklyn victims of the September 11 attacks, symbolizing a community’s resilience and remembrance. Whether you’re paying homage to veterans or simply enjoying the serene environment, the American Veterans Memorial Pier stands as a proud testament to the spirit of American valor and unity.

Nice place near the water. There are bike roads, so you can come here by your bike and take a rest. Also you will have a beautiful view 👍

Had a great run . Participated in the Army run used that area to run my 5 k awesome view of the River

There's an ever-present vibrancy and a sense of community that's palpable with every visit. Whether it's commuters catching the ferry, racers at the starting line, silent parties creating a visually stunning yet audibly serene environment, or children gleefully playing around, the pier buzzes with lively activities. The picturesque surroundings coupled with the myriad of events offer both peaceful and energetic moments, making it a fantastic locale for people from all walks of life. Truly, a great place that brings together varied and enjoyable experiences for all who visit.

This is the view from this place unfortunately its the back of Lady America but you can drive to the other side and see the front view. Still spectacular

The place is nice and beautiful, but they need to train their employees of ferry to be nicer and more understandable.

Good view, but there’s too much trash around

Nice views and trail to explore.
