A combination of traditional park and repurposed piers, Brooklyn Bridge Park offers spectacular views of downtown Manhattan and the New York Harbor from almost every part of the park.

The 85-acre riverside park is now a serious contender for New York's Best Park, with DUMBO's Empire-Fulton Ferry; Pier 1's massive, Jurassic Park-esque bridge and greenery, showing off the vistas from the Vale Lawn and Granite Prospect and hosting Syfy's annual Movies With A View film festival; Pier 2's multifarious basketball, handcall, bocce, and shuffleboard coats; Pier 3's beautiful greenway; Pier 4's amazing artificial beach; the picnic peninsula, fishing station, and sports fields at Pier 5; and the dog run, volleyball courts, playgrounds, and "water lab" of Pier 6.
