Waterfront park with skyline views, activities, and Jane's Carousel
"Brooklyn Bridge Park stretches 1.3 miles along the edge of the borough’s post-industrial waterfront—from DUMBO down to the Columbia Street Waterfront. Nestled in between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges is the Empire Fulton Ferry section, where you can stroll along water’s edge, take a spin around the beautifully restored Jane’s Carousel, picnic on the lawn, lunch on a bench, or stare at the exquisitely lit Kolonihavehus at dusk. This urban treasure is so delightfully Brooklyn." - Column Five
"Brooklyn Bridge Park runs along Furman Street from the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade to Old Fulton Street and there isn’t much you can’t do at this at this park. With everything from basketball courts, soccer fields, bouldering, swimming pools, kayaking, pilates classes and more, the park is always a hive of activity suitable for all ages. Walking along the waterfront you’ll find tasty treats from Ample Hills Ice cream, Fornino and Luke's Lobster and No 7 Sub or you can bring your own food and have a cookout on one of the many public grills. Be warned it’s busy on summer weekends so get there early. And then after a full day of activities you can watch the sunset against one of the best views of the Manhattan skyline." - This Also
"An ideal launchpad for a park hop, with the option to rent a kayak for an hour or two to explore the East River; afterward, wander the green spaces, claim a park bench, and soak in the views." - Alexis Benveniste
"A bustling borough of NYC known for its diverse neighborhoods, cultural hotspots, and trendy eateries."
"Start at the Dumbo entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge Park, and ride slowly through this cleverly landscaped park with its baby-blue umbrellas, families grilling, and piers speckled with joggers and soccer players."
