    Nice large park. Has 2 large playground for kids. Tennis courts and baseball field. On some days it's just nice to walk around and see The greenery of the trees and the grass. getting away a little bit from The hectic City Life and being in nature is relaxing. Please keep the park clean. Enjoy.

    One of the few places in New York that you can casually join In a cricket game! Awesome park central and pivotal in the community. Lincoln Terrace and Arthur S. Somers park is a much needed oasis in the busy bustling community

    Expansive Park with rich history. I would take my runs here, play with my kids here, do yoga here, and have picnics. I led meditations here as well. I love the energy

    I like coming here with the kids we've been coming here since we were on the lockdown, and hardly anybody was out and about, I would bring them here because it s walking distance from my house. I just like the open space and the different parts where the kids could run around they can roll in the grass and not be bothered by anyone. And now my son loves skating, so there is a big area where he can skate around, not bumping into stones and sticks and other people, I like it.

    This is by far the best park that I've taken my son to thus far. I mean the upgrade the did is amazing and so much fun for the children. It's non-stop fun and my son never got bored. The shades of grey and green that was used in that park is amazing. The colors just uplifts the atmosphere. Can't wait to see what they do with the other side of the park. Hope they put in gazebos with seats inside.

    Quite possibly the best playground in all of New York City. And it’s not on any of the best playground lists. The only thing is people need to put their trash in the trash cans. There needs to be some kind of campaign encouraging people not to litter because this is an unusual amount of litter here. I encourage others to throw away the trash that they see, as I often do, to make the park safer for young children.

    Lincoln Terrace Park can make you forget you're in Brooklyn. It's a great local park to enjoy for all members of the family. There's tennis, cricket, a playground, a track, a baseball field, a playground with sprinkler and BBQ/picnic area with grills, tables and chairs. It's easy to get to and Parks Department does an amazing job keeping up with the cleaning. Only thing I wish they would monitor more are the restrooms. They always seem to be in really poor condition.

    My daughter loves this park because it's spacious, lots to do, she always makes friends and has the water. I love it because of the greenery and it's mostly clean. I gave it 3 stars because of the disgusting teenagers that feel they need to come and be disrespectful with their gyrating and profanity. People please raise your kids correctly

    There is a nice park for the kids to play, and sufficient seating for their parents/supervisors. There are 4 basketball courts, an area for cricket, an area for lawn tennis (hard court), an area to exercise, a few places for walking your dog, etc. I visit almost on a daily basis whenever I'm staying in the area.

    The playground doesn't really cater to big kids. It's more for toddlers and little kids. My 8 year old was bored with the short slides and the swing. The park is lovely, the river is beautiful, but smelled awful in one spot, not sure if it was due to the folks that were there or the river itself.

  • 4/5 Kimora J. 7 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    The playground is great, seems newly renovated. Love how everything is spaced out. Hence, there is lots of room for kiddos to run around. I can't speak for other areas in the park besides the playground.

  • 5/5 charmaine t. 2 years ago on Google
    We use this park recently for my niece's 7th birthday. It was very clean and well maintained. I just wish they had more garbage cans available. The children didn't seem to notice this at all. They enjoy running around and being kids!

    Blackveg fest was the greatest. Entertainment, delicious healthy vegan food, variety of free gifts & purchases. 6 portable places with soap, running water, paper towels. Lots of fun etc, etc.

    Well I stumbled into the quaint and in the cut terrace. I believe it was just finished and the spot is clearly for the tenants. But open to all!!

    Arthur S. Somers Park is a beautiful and peaceful place to spend time. The park has plenty of entertainment for everyone, including walking paths, playgrounds and sports fields. I really like running here. In my opinion, the park becomes especially beautiful in autumn. I highly recommend this park to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.

  • 4/5 Adrienne F. 10 months ago on Google
    Been along time but the weather was fine. Kids were playing and at that time between 3pm and 4pm it wasn't crowded and it was clean.

  • 2/5 Luis O. 1 year ago on Google
    Not a bad place for the kids to play around but definitely not the best to be all day, because of the trouble maker's. Just the other day some kid's was trying to stab another kid for no apparent reason, it's just sad that kid's nowadays days can't have fun in this park like before

  • 5/5 Michael O. 10 months ago on Google
    Startlingly beautiful on Eastern Parkway, this park rivals any park in Manhattan. It is entered from Eastern Parkway on one level, then descends to lower levels. There is a children's playground, rest rooms, basketball courts, handball courts, a workout area and even a baseball field. What more recent park has a baseball field? Very peaceful, beautifully designed. Brooklyn's got it!

  • 5/5 Eric S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice recreational area with multiple tennis courts a baseball field basketball courts just wows you and apparently theres skating rink i guess to substitute losing empire skate rink which was a positive place for the children to be

  • 5/5 Maiesha T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great playground for kids. My kid didn't want to leave. There were so many areas for him to play and it was clean. I'll definitely take him back when I'm in the neighborhood.

  • 5/5 Mia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here 4/1/23 with a couple friends to pick up some garbage. I’ll say compared to other nyc parks, this place was super clean. we were told that an area of the park opened up within the last few weeks, and that may explain the cleanliness. we found a few spots where someone left their dog poop… unfortunately we stepped in that while getting some garbage behind the trash can. There were grills, courts, lawn space, and a playground! I’m excited to return to the park. !!!Warning!!! there was a lot of broken glass on the grass. So please be mindful of that!

  • 3/5 Kerry Ann J. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place to take the kids

  • 5/5 Jo M. 1 year ago on Google
    I've spent time here on and off over the last 15 years and it has changed quite a bit but always for the better. We have a lot of good memories and I hope it keeps getting better and better for the neighborhood families. Last time we were her we felt very safe and it was good to see all of the kids playing together, people working out, and dogs walking through here. It was always a rule of thumb to not walk through here after dark though, I'm not sure if it's still that way.

  • 4/5 Joseph M. F. 2 years ago on Google
    I didn't go in the park I was in the neighborhood. Looked nice

  • 4/5 Allah'ade N. 1 year ago on Google
    It's easily accessible via all most means of transport. It's a nice place to bring the children, infants kan krawl without injury via supervision, tennis courts, basketball courts with plenty trees & grass for nature lovers and for family gatherings/BBQ jams, etc....

  • 4/5 Yunek W. 1 year ago on Google
    The park has so many activities. They have a kid playground, a basketball court, a football field, a handball court, and a open field. You can walk your dog, have a picnic or do yoga. I will say that some of the children in the park weren't nice, and a parent wasn't in the play area.

  • 5/5 Alyssia A. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love it , very Beautiful and lots of fun .a lot to get into , skate rentals available, on the weekends from 1-6pm on the weekends. This park is big enough for everyone to enjoy them selves.

  • 4/5 Moshe D. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing park! High-quality jungle gym, sprinklers. Bathrooms are horrendous, tiptoeing around puddles of urine and toilet overflow, the women's room was locked and women were forced to use the gross men's room. 🤢 People smoking in the jungle gym area while there's kids around.

  • 3/5 Sophia B. 2 years ago on Google
    I took my pet to the park.The park needs more police patrol and a face lift.

  • 5/5 Yossi B. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great big Park with so many different things for children to do, my children are begging me to go back.

  • 5/5 Matthew M. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful George M. Olmstead-designed park on the edge of Crown Heights and Weeksville. Brand new playground, splash pad picnic areas for kids and adults and a nice green. Tennis and handball courts, a baseball field, actual working bathrooms. Lots to like.
