Great spot to chill and eat some carry out. People watching seems like the number one activity here. Lots of poopers walking around otherwise know as dogs. Great for picnics and groups. Smallest men's room I've ever seen but it gets the job done. Brooklyn half starts here.

Very nice. I really liked it My first time there although Had a great time long walk in with friends. The park was really deep and clean every so often workers came around and picked up garbage from the floor and emptied the garbage cans which is really good thank you…

Lovely park wit a lot sitting options! There are sports games every evening and you can participate as a spectator. The location is usually quiet at night and close to a lot of dinning options.

Nice familiar park and game park to come and play some softball or do a good picnic with some friends and family. A great place to pass some time, get to know new friends, walk with your dog, play frisbee or do something more of activities at air. It is a big place to choose a good spot and do your stuff, and maybe join some other people. In general it is a clean place, water is available to drink in some spots, trees are there to give you cover from the sun or rain, and you have plenty space to play your favorite sport. Totally available for any handicap person.

Pretty peaceful, nice seeing people enjoying the outdoors throughout the summer. Bring a blanket and a book, a partner even and enjoy a relaxing afternoon

This park has been around forever. It's easily accessible via transit with the G train close by at Nassau Avenue and multiple buses including the 43 and 48. The athletic field used to be a patch of dirt but now it's a nicely done turf field. Across the way is Mccarren Pool with it's 16 feet deep pool and super large wading pool.

My favorite park in Brooklyn! Love to take my dog for a walk here

The park is green and clean and has three separate sections including a tennis park. Framers market in Saturdays during the summer is quite plentiful. Highly recommend visiting!

Been goin to this park all my life and im 48,the upgrade is so beautiful love the new bbq spot. Wish there was more grass like b4. But over all love it two 👍

I love this park for working out. The only place I’ve come across that has a field and the track. There’s also a lot of people playing recreational team sports. So great atmosphere. I wouldn’t recommend a picnic here. It’s more of an active park, but to each it’s own.

I love this park specially the people who work at the park house bar, ice cream place and coffee shop... They always make you feel so welcome. My dog loves it's here too you can tell ☕😁🦊👍🏼

Came here with our canopy! Great spot for walks and to bring your dog here!

Can’t help but love the vibe of this area. People, weather, and some many different type of exercise with the very same end. Be more healthy on body and mind. Here you can jog, do boxing, play volleyball, take your dog out for a walk and pretty much everything you can imagine for. I loved it!

For the safety of ALL, please allow kids to wear their life vests and or floaties. Sunday July 24, 2022 a toddlers lifeless body was pulled from the pool which had almost 200 guest in the pool. It’s most impossible for lifeguards to keep an eye on such large crowds. Have 2-3 sessions per day and limit the amount of guess per session. Kids shouldn’t have to die, suffer for you to allow them to be safe and protected with a life vest. It’s simple common sense.

Been coming here since a teen. It’s a lovely place to picnic have drinks catch some sun rays. There’s usually parking close by and lots of restaurants to go to afterwards or pick up food and bring it to the park for a picnic. It’s very peaceful sometimes

Great place to take your pets for a walk! I went to this park at nighttime, and the atmosphere seemed peaceful with a chilly wind running through me! Would not recommend eating anything at this park because dogs can chase you unless you are quick to hide behind something.

Great place to be active with a track and soccer field. Also on the side many places to lay in the grass and hang out. And on Saturdays they have the market! I got some vintage clothing. Highly recommend checking it out!

My ❤️! Walking my dog every morning in this park where we get to meet and bond with the community! If only they stopped trashing it every time people get together and picnic here and give us some much needed off-leash hours.

Love this place a ton it’s not the first time I’ve been here but I love it all the same. Came here at night recently and I’ve never left a review for the park. Definitely recommend visiting frequently if you live in the area or even getting a workout in on the track.

Very pretty park, especially in spring when it's full of people sitting on the grass and playing sports.

Visited the pool and recreation center while volunteering at their local respite center for displaced migrants. The rec center looks brand new and very well maintained. The field is in good shape and is large enough for 3 or 4 soccer matches at once. Great facility, light years better than what it used to be in the 90s.

Even cold outside but wear warm walk under the sun , see the dogs play around still makes a good day. Restroom are very clean , I am sure when weather becomes warm how popular will be for picnic.

McCarren park is the GP icon. Running truck, workout station. Tons of room and now a restaurant and bar. Super fun place for kids and adults alike.

Amazing renovation of the Rec center. Very inviting. Be careful of visiting in the day time on the weekends you might catch a softball to the face but not to worry there’re enough doggos walking around to lick your wounds back to a happy and joyous weekend saunter .

McCarren Park in Brooklyn stands as an urban oasis, offering a vibrant and dynamic space that caters to a wide array of interests and activities, making it a cherished destination among locals and visitors alike. The park's sprawling green spaces are perfect for picnics, sunbathing, or simply unwinding amidst nature. Its athletic facilities, including well-maintained soccer fields, basketball courts, and a historic pool, attract sports enthusiasts of all ages, fostering a strong sense of community and active living.

The park's inclusive atmosphere, coupled with its commitment to providing a clean, safe, and engaging environment, earns it a well-deserved five stars. Whether seeking recreation, relaxation, or community connection, McCarren Park delivers an exceptional experience that embodies the vibrant spirit of Brooklyn.

The park was beautiful in the earlier part of the day. However, I was advised that things heatup in the evenings and over night. This is NY, therefore I suggest you be aware of your surroundings regardless of what time of day it is.

Nice track and pretty clean in the park. It is generally well lighted and even at night has a good amount of people. It has really improved after all the gentrifiers and hipsters moved in. Need a million dollar apartment overlooking the park that's falling down you got it all here. The baseball fields still seem to flood our but not as bad after they were 'fixed'. The farmers market here is over priced like most of the area but you don't have to go to Union Square.

Crowded. For once a well kept NYC Park. Lit for nightime game play. Good quality turf and track. Wish there were more lit and well kept parks in NYC

McCarran Park has been North Brooklyn's Central Park! Beautifully maintained and always updated! Spacious and well protected! It's surrounded by cafes, restaurants, bars and nightlife! Just ALIVE!

Beautiful park and very well kept. Love the track, too! I go a few times every week.

lovely park. people walk their dogs, picnic, do plays, play sports, read a book, and stroll. what more do you need?

One of my neighborhood parks. Great park. it's usually crowded due to the gentrification of the neighborhood but fortunately with that gentrification, the city has upgraded many of the amenities of the park. It has softball fields, a historic comfort station that i believe the city is expanding to include a restaurant concession. Ample seating areas. Park is divided into several different sections.

Full 8 lane, 400m track which is open to all - can be quite busy with soccer in the middle but it’s always good to see people outside working hard! There’s also a dog park, a skate park, a public pool and a normal grassy park with some picnic tables. Feels like the center of the neighborhood on any given sunny day.

This VAST park (think running track, play ground, food trucks and BBQ picnic areas in a tight bustling area in Williamsburg, Brooklyn) includes a public swimming pool with warm showers, soap, and free sunscreen. This memory making daily getaway is immaculately kept and with free lunches during the summer for the kiddos. The staff is kind but EXTREMELY FIRM about NYC pool safety rules and guidelines, so know them and be ready to agree and be generous with your compliance for the happiest experience. The line starts here, and it's good to know these things: ALL BAGS WILL BE INSPECTED so no pocket knives or work blades, no food or glass bottles or juices etc will be let inside the facility. Do wear your swimsuit with a mesh liner and maybe just pull that mess up above the elastic waist to expedite the line and avoid them having to ask the embarrassing questions about whether you have a liner in your swim trunks. And no, my guy, you can NOT wear your fart streaked BRIEFS under your board shorts into the pool. They will send you back into the locker room or back home if you try that hack. Sorry, bruh. Do bring a small lock for EVERYTHING EXCEPT your swimsuit sunglasses, brimmed hat, towel, water friendly shoes (flops, slides or Crocs) and WATER bottle only - these are allowed on deck. Leave your food at home and your cellphones in the locker if you're coming to this SAFE HAVEN of splashy goodness and fun and genuine interaction. If you don't feel comfy only in your swimsuit, bring a plain WHITE cover up or plain white T-shirt in this neutral zone, otherwise you may need to leave that extra shirt in the locker. Rashguard swimsuit tops are the exception to this rule. Pools empty out 15 minutes before closing time for the 11-2 morning session and 4-7 afternoon session. So if you're looking to get into one of the family changing rooms with your littles get there early and leave a bit earlier to catch an empty room to yourself. Otherwise, enjoy the warm days, use the sunscreen and don't forget your wide brimmed hat. Cheers!!

Great place to work out get some fresh air I love it

Several large parks situated across the street from each other. Each park offers unique amenities, whether it is a running track, baseball field, playgrounds, dog parks and other attractions typically found in a park. The parks themselves are all old and you can definitely see that time has taken its toll on them. I took my dog for a walk and visited those parks that allowed pets. For a Saturday, try they were all well attended, so it was nice to see people from all nationalities enjoying the parks. While the park could use a face lift, I always felt safe. While I spotted one doggie bag station, it definitely could have used more stations placed in all the parks that permit dogs since parks always attract people with dogs, like myself. When you're in a large crowded city, it is always a good thing to have parks!

Perfect spot. Chill. Laid back. Stroller friendly. Delicious food and cocktails. Take a break to warm up during a cold walk. Cool off on a hot day. The staff is the best--always helpful and friendly.

A park full of memories for me. We have had some great times here. Working at a Yoga Studio right in the area kept me going to these parks during a break. Lots of people/dogs/life being lived there

Such a cute park!! So much space to hang out or to play organized sports. The volleyball teams especially don't have a problem making space for themselves in the middle of our picnic! Yay!

I really liked it My first time there although I'm originally from Brooklyn I never been there. Had a great time barbecuing with friends. The park was really deep and clean every so often workers came around and picked up garbage from the floor and emptied the garbage cans which is really good thank you

Beautiful park. But need more cleaning crew or crew that is there need to do a better cleaning on grass. So much glass. And plastic tops. But other than that 200000⁰ great park

We had a wonderful time here. It was quiet, it was serene. We sat there for hours talking and eating and enjoying the views and each other. The only problem I had was the grass on the north 11th side was horrible. But that is literally our only complaint.

Great tennis courts and park

Nice park many people there and kid friendly

If you like white people, you will be into this park

Very Nice

(Translated by Google) Good for a picnic :) There are many cafes nearby, so it is also good to eat it out for takeout. (Original) 피크닉하기 좋아요:) 근처에 카페가 많아서 테이크아웃해서 먹기도 좋아용

My granddaughter brought me and her dog here to walk around. Lovely park and a colorful crowd of hip young folks.

Plenty of squirrels great for runners there are two hawks living their like the work out area .

Avoid unless you want 5g radiation poisoning. Every light has tor

Hip beautiful park with a track, field, dog park, and plenty of space. Bathrooms available too- might be better to go buy something nearby to use their facilities, if not- bring your own TP!

Born in the area always loved it and I still do beautiful place lots to do😊

Played an outdoor show here before it got so cold. Walked through yesterday as part of photoshoot. Lots of space. Can be enjoyed social distancing.

Great place to play soccer games, work out, and run around the track field. New turf, amazing environment during the summer.

This park is so pretty and peaceful. I also love how the other side of the park is very "Fitness" heavy 💪🏾💪🏾

I recommend if anyone trying to go for exercise , its better not to go right now . The snow covered everything and its slippery.

Great park for the kids and pets to run around. Great for the occasional stroll. People there are friendly.

The dog park was great. Two area, one for large one for small dogs. No aggressive behavior from any dogs or people. Really pretty good as urban dog parks go.

Great park to do yoga in the am or go for a run. On the Saturday there’s market vendors. There’s a pool, the bike and skater park nearby, tennis court across the street , baseball the rev center ,swimming pool, etc a lot of cookouts on the weekends and Holidays in the summer and spring it gets pretty full. Definitely safe neighborhood with a Starbucks, nearby bars, restaurants, and juice shops.

This place has the biggest pool in New York. It is so nice there. And the have Mexican food truck there that sounds the best burritos I have ever tasted in New York they also sell soft and hard tacos. And wait for the burrito was not long at all but the taste of the burrito is the best I've ever had in New York hands down. I recommend this food truck to everyone that looks at my reviews peace.

All the magic in this simple little park but very powerful angels..

The park is clean and relaxing

Best park in Brooklyn for working out.

I love this park...can not wait for the summer time ...want to have a picnic here.

Its a park...

(Translated by Google) A beautiful park (Original) Un bonito parque

The best part about this park is the location, nestled between Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Plenty of benches, so you can usually find a spot to sit, and they have bathrooms (though currently under reconstruction; port-a-potties available). From what I understand, they have concerts during the summer, though I've never been. If things ever return to normal, I will have to rectify that.

Always a nice walk

(Translated by Google) perfect for a good relaxation (Original) perfecto para un buen esparciniento

Love this park. I especially love that the other side of the park is extremely "Fitness" heavy

Great multifunctional park

Big park to be able to Enjoy and still social distance!

It’s not great but you gotta work with what your have. People are generally respectful.

Beautiful!

Good park to work out

McCarren Park is an amazing place for a walk/jog/run [or during the summer a great place for] a nice picnic. I visit this place on a daily basis.
