This is my go to when I need some winding down. I have been coming here for over 5 years and have see so many vast changes in that time. I appreciate how special I feel when I encase myself in the views. The most spectacular, I might add from Brooklyn. Rainy days seem to be the most appropriate time for a visit. Less crowds is the biggest plus! What also makes this park pretty special is that you can walk down to the “shore” and encase in the griddy water, haha. You won’t find any clear or blue toned waters around here but the griddy screams city and these small features make my visits special.

A great park and surrounding area! Great views of Manhattan skyline. Also check out Domino Park, some of these photos are from there by the old Domino Sugar Factory.

This is one of the best parks in the city. Very well designed with sitting areas. It is less crowded compared to other parks in the city and has a few vendors for a snack. Highly recommended

Great views over the East River. Nice little sandy area to read or just look out. Less crowded than Domino. Since the park is dedicated to Marsha, there are plaques around detailing trans history, which I appreciated! Picnic tables in the confines as well - love laying out a blanket and just relaxing here in the sun or shade

We loved the educational signage regarding trans rights and the history of the park’s namesake. The park was spacious with lots of provided seating and recreation areas. There are bars and restaurants nearby and great skyline views.

I've been to this park before but now after its renovation, it is even more beautiful. It is a big park and the landscaping was beautifully done. It has a dog run and picnic benches. There is an area that looks like a tiny beach. There is also a playground. The views from here are nice and it is right on the East River. I will be returning in the future to this Oasis in Williamsburg.

This park is a family favorite, picnic tables, trees, dog park, green grass and some very simple wooden play structures for the kids. Also a good place to picnic either on the tables or grass. Great to just catch a good chill view of the city. This park can get very hot during the summer, with the limited trees for shade but otherwise a solid park that used to host smorgasburg pre-pandemic.

This park was nice, not crowded, but all the shady areas were taken. The park was clean, grass wasn't well maintained. The bathrooms were clean and close to the entrance of the park. My children were disappointed that there were only swings at the park. But enjoyed those none the less. There were plenty of people on the soccer field that was nice to see. Great views of the Manhattan skyline and the East River. Very relaxing place. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful park to go lay down and have a picnic with a special someone or just by yourself. It has a gorgeous view of Manhattan.

Beautiful waterfront park overlooking the east river. There's lawns and rocks to sit on. You can go right up to the shore. There's benches as well. Pathways are wheelchair accessible. Very modern and pretty

Such a cute park. It was pretty packed because we went there to attend the Smorgasburg food festival (which was amazing!!!) I’m glad they have it at this park the views of the NYC skyline are incredible. It was also nice being by the water to get a good breeze!

Easy to reach by bus or subway (L), space to enjoy good weather. Plenty of benches, tables & lawns to hang out on. Small beach and great skyline views of Downtown and Midtown Manhattan.

Great Park and make sure you bring the balls to play with. They have swings and a great area for a little children pretty minimum, no slides. Beautiful views and great area for a picnic I was going to give it a five stars but parking in the area was difficult and they need more than just an open space for children.

This is a beautiful park with stunning views of Manhattan. I’m so glad I attended the free, open to the public live performance of Jarrett Key painting the backdrop for the NYC Pride Grandstand here. I’ll definitely visit this park the next time I’m in Williamsburg.

Good for the picnic area and running . But if you do have kids I don't recommend bringing it here, since they don't have a playground.

This is a nice riverfront park to rest and watch the sunset over Manhattan. There are plenty of grassy areas in both the shade and sun. It seems great for a picnic. There's also a small strip of sand along the river with lots of rocks to sit on.

Such a beautiful, inspiring and peaceful place in honor to the great activist, thinker and precious soul of Marsha P. Johnson. This LGBT friendly park in Brooklyn is very well maintained, there are plenty of green areas, including a little garden that brings color to the landscape, even dining tables if you’re looking for a cute place to have a picnic! For me it was a surprise to find this beach by the East River, you get to relax to a nice view of the Manhattan skyline. Overall it was such a spiritually beautiful experience for me. I recommend you stop by to connect back with nature 💚

An amazing view of the river and Manhattan! Both during the day and in the evening!

This State Park offers outstanding panoramic views across the River. An ideal place to relax, enjoy a picnic and sea the clouds pass by. Lovely Brooklyn spot. Montserrat2020

Great view, and very spacious. And not for nothing, the grounds staff was super nice and helpful. You made a picnic, a proposal, and a going away gathering eat breezy.

Thanks marsha! Im loving the gay rights and the dog park as well.

(Translated by Google) An unexpectedly beautiful and interesting place! (Original) Неожиданно красивое и интересное место!

Love to walk along the river and check out all the good street art. Had a great time catching up with some old friends here

This is where the Smorgasbord holds their food market, crowded but fun place on the weekend especially during the summer season. Not a huge park it got everything. There is the food market, and little park with swings, wooden chu chu train and bridge next to it, then there is also a public soccer field next to the little park. In conclusion, it is a fun little park for people who wants to socialize but definitely not for relaxing or alone time.

A park located in Brooklyn at 90 Kent Ave. The park is near the East River. The park has various facilities and nice corners to sit in. In addition to that, every Saturday there is a food market where booths are set up to sell diverse and delicious food and drinks. From the park you look towards Manhattan and the view is amazing.

I love this park! Spacious, great view, clean, well-maintained and nice staff! I love seeing the butterflies around. This place is such a good vibes!! ❤️

Nice park went for the Smorgasborg good event. They set aside a place for the food event and it was really great. There is a waterside attraction around the park with stones and places with nice pictures.

We had a great time outdoors, The picnic tables were of great convenience and the umbrellas gave nice shade. Close to the water and cheerful crowd.

Amazing park with the stunning skyline view!! Saw one of the best sunsets in my life here😍

This park is both a memorial to a transgender person and a functioning park. A prominent TLGB+ activist in the 70s, Marsha's body was found in the river and, whilst the coroner ruled it suicide, many who knew her believe it was murder. There are several signs throughout the park that give background on her and the TLGB+ community. And they're worth reading as you visit the park. The park is situated on the east river bank in Williamsburg. This gives it a full view of Manhattan. And the space itself is quiet, calm, and well laid out. It was one place where we sat down just to watch the world go by.

Nice place for walks or relaxing on the grass reading a book or just sunbathing. Beautiful views of the city and smorgburg is located in the park. Many different vendors choose from a lot of vegan options here. Unfortunately, there are no dogs in the park due to events going on in the park

We satvin some chairs that were bolted down in very strange configurations, but overall it was pretty good.

Another great park in the city. This one is right by the water and if you're lucky on Saturdays when it's warm outside, they have smorgasbords, delicious food and great people watching

Usually when something is going on here you will find me here. I love the park and think it is one of the nicest urban parks ever. If you didn’t come here yet, you need to. And check online for a festival that will make things better.

Great experience, the view is completely magnificent. You can enjoy the ny landscape while sitting on the edge of the river. If you go on Saturday’s between 11 and 6, you will be able to enjoy smorgasburg, a seasonal outdoor foodie market, that is fantastic and filled with tons of fantastic vendors, it’s definitely worth it!

Great park with an outdoor market, outdoor fast food, BBQ, a place to play sports and a great place to take pictures and video very close to the water with access to east river. Place has a lot of BBQ tables, a short walk to the Ferry and Hurricane Point

Lot of history here. Worth a walk through and if you can catch a nice sunset even better. View of Manhattan always cool.....

First time in the place, and im sure I'll be back

Very few people in the am.

I love coming here is so relaxing and peaceful

Good Park

Pretty views... need some cleaning and more green, but good for a nice afternoon sun break...

Very bad customer service with a attitude

This is wonderful

For 2 hours we spent at the park they were washing this wooden thing (which is closed for use) 2 times, for at least 30 min each time! Very loud and smelly! Why???

Great place to hang out when its not Smorgaburg season.

favorite place

Grey place in the Sumner a y options

Happened upon this park a few weeks ago. Nice park. Benches if you want to picnic or you can sit by the water and get a nice view of the skyline. There was a sprinkler on for kids to combat the heat and there were several restaurants and bars in the area.

Its a long walk 🚶/ 🏃 unless your just visiting specific parts .. Prepare your legs!! The view is amazing, lots of activities and restaurants depending on where you are!

They close the park maybe around 11 or so at night, but it's nice. Soccer field, seatings , dog park , picnic tables and of course water view .

A good place to get away from the City. Beach, camping, hiking and open space.

Fun and laid back park to go to with friends. Amazing views of the city

Great for kids, dogs, picnics, and a generally nice day out!

Beautful place named after an amazing trans woman. Highly recommend. LGBT friendly

Kept very clean tough parking in area great if you live in area

It is not a park to me.... it’s more like an empty land with a few tables and chairs but with excellent views of Manhattan

Nice park, especially in fall or winter. Beautiful view

Great city views and a lovely small sand beach

Cool!

Kind of a cool little Park in the middle of Brooklyn gives you a good view of New York

Haven't been to the park in years. Happy to see it's still a well maintained family friendly space.

Great view. Lots of migration birds. The landscape of Manhattan make it a perfect place for a picnic. Date spot for sure.

This is a really beautiful park with an incredible view of the syline, right on the water. Plenty of space for activities, picnic tables to have lunch, and lots of outdoor classes (like yoga etc). The only downfall is that there is seemingly only one entrance into the park? We walked all along the gate and around the corner before finding a single opening to get in. Not a huge issue, just a little confusing to be able to see the park but not enter.

Open space great view

Beautiful clean park. Well worth the visit.

Awesome place to walk and take a breath by Williamsburg and watch manhattan east village view and midtown. Closing really early due it is private park other than great place to go all the way by water and having some seats whichs impossible in manhattan all sea side in manhattan literally sold to corporation

Nice

Average park, lots of places to sit. Seems to host a lot of lot kids and families. There's a tiny beach at the water with sand depending on the tide.

Beatiful view

Cool....

Great views of NYC

Huge park with great views of the water and Manhattan. I love that there are picnic tables for people to eat at and definitely a nice place to read a book for hours or walk by the water!

Great relaxing nice place to visit.

It was so tranquil and relaxing.

Historical

Purdy

Beautiful park and view

Beautiful view of the city!

Nice place for a walk, near highway so it’s not too quiet. Tried fishing there, no luck as there are lots of duckies.

Quiet, shady, uncrowded, a nice bathroom at next door Bushwick Inlet Park. Close to Williamsburg amenities and Bedford L stop. A great place for a swim.

Love that park will be visiting there often can't wait to get back

Romantic Place for those that like Sunsets

Lovely place to enjoy sunny weather with fantastic views of water and Manhattan.

Pretty nice park in the center if hipster land. If you haven't been here in 15 year you will be so surprised at how built up the area is. there is a nice soccer field and grass area to sit on.

You get to see nyc skyline and fireworks on the 4july. The had put up barriers so i couldn't go on the track and you have to be back by 6pm. After that u can deliver your food outside but not leave.

I like this park , it's not so crowded and it's a great place to have pictures or just drink a coffe with a view to the ciry

Just a great park, along the East River. Surprisingly long and spacious, there's grassy areas, picnic tables a short strip of sandy beach. For kids a super cute wooden playground and a dog park! Really just a solid park in the heart of Williamsburg to chill, play or relax and enjoy

This park is the perfect location to have a nice Saturday brunch overlooking the NY skyline after picking up different food from all across the world at Smorgasburg. ICYMI Smorgasburg is a seasonal Saturday outdoor food market right next to/ in this park. The park is very clean, close to the Bedford T station.

Amazing place with delicious Food 🗽

It was better 5 years ago b 4 the renovations.it looked 19 th century for a while with the cobblestones walk paths and the ware house / brewery parallel..it had semi Gothic look..lots of grass..on the ground and ancient boardwalk

Beautiful views. Very clean. Good eared for lunch

Nice park especially if you try out the smorgasbord carts the vending trucks food trucks very good food check it out

Cute park with gorgeous views of Manhattan. If you go on Saturdays, check out Smorgasburg.

Beautiful view of city …. Lots of space to catch the fresh air … Lots of benches and chairs the playground part of the park is very grassy very natural looking there is a public bathroom there is a small science space for kids during the week for learning activities a huge space for lots of families enjoy all at once from picnic entrance to smalls Board on Saturday swings no slides lots of sitting area lots of use to Manhattan tiny beachfront all in One Park

Great park. Glad to see it’s finally (slowly) reopening after years of construction! Has a great area for kids to run and the enrichment center is perfect and well attended. They have toys, books and games for the kids now there. Can’t wait for the rest to finish construction so we have full access to the park again.

Small but well designed and recently renovated park with access to a small beach on East river. Benches, tables, playgrounds, lawns and restrooms.

Went here for the July 4th fireworks show, the main park gates were open for public till 7pm, after that entry was stopped. Decent view of the fireworks.

We visited on Saturday, the place was crowded. It was a sunny day and there are not enough places in the shade and not much to do. The water front part needs cleaning. Tere are public restrooms but the line was very long. The place has great potential to become nce place to visit.

Went for smorgasburg. Really nice park, great atmosphere and great event. They also has a vinyl record fair that day which was pretty cool also.

Whoa,whoa,whoa is all I have to say about this place. Numerous selections of food from all over. A lot of vegan options. Spacious and great views of Manhattan skyline. If you've never been, my advice is don't wait. It's only around for the summer. And it's free to get in. My only critique is the restroom situation. Gotta add some port-a-pottys to the equation. Way too much people for just 2 bathrooms 🚻
