Beautiful spot to just sit a enjoy the view. The water is closeby so that you can hear the water. Benches are everywhere you can just sit, almost meditatively. It was a breath of fresh air after crossing the Brooklyn Bridge packed full of people in the early morning.

Adorable spot to watch a sunset and let your kids play in the park. You are close to everything but feel removed from the hustle and bustle. It's beautifully landscaped too.

Brooklyn Bridge Park is truly a hidden gem in the city. It’s very easy to reach, with multiple subway stations within walking distance, making it super accessible. Once you’re there, you’ll find it surprisingly quiet and offering fantastic views of the entire bridge, the opposite side of the river, and even the Statue of Liberty. It’s just a wonderful park, and I’ll definitely be visiting again.

Perfect view of the Manhattan skyline. Perfect for photographers, lovers and tourists. On a clear day, anyone can take great photos of the river, the skyline and the bridge itself. There is seating and a few food vendors. And you get an up-close view of the ferry as it launches and lands right next door.
