    Perfect for a day trip and enjoy views of NYC skyline, hike, walk, run and try great food. Very clean and safe.

    I love this part of NY at anytime but especially at sunset. The views are spectacular in either direction of this spot. Lots of places to eat, get a drink or just relax and people watch. Finding someplace to park can be a challenge. When the pandemic clears up I'll be offering photo walking tours so keep an eye out or get in touch to be notified. Cheers.

    The park area is nice but not much to do here. Pretty over rated and it's dead at night. Parking is impossible so don't bother visiting unless you're taking the train. Pretty nice views of Manhattan during the night at least. There's a ferry stop here and a few restaurants on the water front.

    The Brooklyn Bridge Park - Pier 1 was so nice, it was my first time and I’m absolutely going back. I got to watch Psycho at the movie nights on Thursday that they brought back this summer! Had fun getting lost in the grass and trees of Pier 3 as well. Definitely a great place for a cute date night, just check the weather we were hiding under a tree once it started raining 😅

    Absolutely beautiful and relaxing place for locals, tourist, immigrants, whatever. They all look so happy 😁 Amazing view of the city and bridge.

    Beat spot for taking in the skyline view of Manhattan buildings as well as the Brooklyn Bridge. You can even see the statue of liberty at a distance. Helicopters and planes and boats everywhere. Plenty of walking space and benches to sit. This is a definite must visit if you're in New York. Everything was clean and beautiful. A+ destination.

    One of the best places of our NYC visit. Going before 8 am is nice and peaceful. Crowds start after 8 am. Nice views of the bridge and plenty of cool breeze if making an early morning visit.

    This place now has kayaking. How dope is that!?.... It's awesome. Sundays are family days with the kids. Sign up online to keep it simple but you can sign up in person. Being on those Hudson waters is a once in a lifetime experience that you have to give a shot. You've got a front row seat to the city views and you can see the statue of liberty. The park also has rollerblading area, handball courts, grass turf for some exercising or soccer, basketball courts, walking, bike riding, and there's water sprinklers for the kids. The one thing I will suggest is bring your own drinks because there's no where close to get any, it's a hike.

    Perfect place for engagement photos. I photographed my couples engagement session here after visiting the 3rd and 4th piers. Im glad we did because the city is gorgeous at night.

    Anytime I wonder around this side of town I can't even express how I feel. Alway a good vibe. However, the restrooms are quite of walk having them closer would be a great idea.

    Great views of the city and the Statue of Liberty from a distance. Restaurants close at 9pm so make sure you get there before that time or eat before you go. Definitely windy. Lots of ice cream stores and pizzeria.

  • 5/5 Randy R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of the best spot to spend sunset in Brooklyn, catch a nice fresh breeze, with a great view of the Downtown Manhattan Skyline and architecture, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Statue of Liberty in the distance all in one place. Watch the city light up after sunset to end a good day or to start a wonderful evening! It's clean, well designed, nice paths and walk ways! Best of all its free!

    After strolling through DUMBO and crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, I found myself at Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Arriving just after sunset, I intentionally waited for the evening to enjoy the breathtaking Manhattan city lights. The view at night is absolutely stunning, making it a perfect spot to visit. It's an ideal location for a nice and charming date, adding to the overall experience.

    I love this park. I recently discovered that it was here as I haven't been by the Brooklyn Promenade in years. I love it! It brings so much green and activities to this area of Brooklyn. The views are amazing and there are lots of things to do or you can just stroll and take in the scene. Bring a blanket, some snacks and a good book and lay out on one of the lush sprawling lawns and soak up some sun.

    Kayaking at Brooklyn Bridge Park was an extraordinary experience. The serene waters against the backdrop of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline create a surreal setting for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. I highly recommend going at sunset to witness the city's skyline bathed in the warm, golden hues of the setting sun. The tranquil waters and the breathtaking view make it the perfect time to paddle along the East River. Don't miss this enchanting experience!

    Quite impressively kept up. There's just no parking.

  • 5/5 Zoe H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service helpful and polite staff.(was raining) and they still where lovely even though the weather conditions. We went from here to wall street very quick. Amazing views if the city and value for money.

    I loved my time here at Brooklyn Bridge Park. There is so much to do, so many benches, amenities and the amazing backdrop for a perfect pic! Perfect spot for people of all ages.

  • 5/5 Rome Austin (. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing beautiful park, best views of the city across the water. Take nice walks with many small hidden paths. A must see and experience!

  • 4/5 Damon M. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome. Pier 2 rocks. Friday night at the skating rink!

  • 5/5 Stefan T. 1 year ago on Google
    Timeless spot for a great view, whether it's 11 pm on a late summer night or the middle of the day on an unnecessarily chilly winter morning. The view of lower manhattan and Lady Liberty off to the left always gets the job done.

  • 4/5 Nicholas “Quazzy” H. 1 year ago on Google
    This pier has a lively atmosphere. My time there was spent mostly looking out onto the water. There was some seating and I believe just down the way they had basketball and some people roller skating as well. My family took some nice pics by the water
