Nice dog park in Dumbo! We discovered this gem about a month ago and love how spacious it is. They…read morealso provide dog waste bags at each entrance which is a nice touch. There are a few tables and benches inside the park as well, so owners can relax, enjoy a snack, and chat while their dogs run around and burn off some energy. The only downside is the parking situation in the area, which can be pretty difficult. If you live close enough, I'd definitely recommend walking instead.

It was pretty crowded on a Sunday afternoon but still space for the doggos to run around. It has a small hill where dogs can go up and down on. Only downfall is that owners don't pay attention to their pups, so when they go poop, they don't realize and it just sits there. Luckily, we help each other out so it does get picked up eventually since no one wants their dog to step on it or eat it. Definitely will be back with my pup since she had a great time there!

I learned to ride a bike at this park. Many fun childhood memories rolling down the big hill and…read moreplaying in the snow or autumn leaves. Great amenities and a skate park was added. The park also features beautiful views of the Narrows. It's one of my favorite places to catch sunset views. Only downside is the stench that emanates from the wastewater treatment plant nearby (since 1952). FYI, for those interested, you can enter a lottery to tour the wastewater treatment plant! Owl's Head Park has a rich and interesting history.

I've been to this park on several occasions--most of which came when I didn't live in the area, but…read morenow that I live just a few blocks away, I've only been here two or three times. Nonetheless, my daughter wanted to have some friends/family celebrate her birthday here. The park is a decent size park, where a lot of people have set-ups for birthdays. A short distance away, they have a play area for the children to do their thing. If you walk up a bit, you can get some nice anemic photos toward the water, during this part of the season, you may spot a cherry blossom tree, or two. Overall, it's a wonderful family oriented park. I'd say if you have children, a dog, a mate who enjoys walking, a couple friends who want a picnic and/or some quiet time, this park would definitely suit your needs!

Dog run users are also fairly conscientious about not bringing in aggressive dogs. The Parks Dept really needs to step it up and bring the place up to the standards of Manhattan dog runs rather than blow its budget on 7-figure renovations of an overlook that few people even use and a million+ dollar skate park of interest to very few kids in this neighborhood.

First impressions can sure last a long time. This ten-acre park is a prime example as I remember…read morewhen I came here for the first time way back in the late 1980's. It felt like a misbegotten haven for society's outcasts, and I remember feeling too antsy even to sit on a bench as the fear of a surprise ambush ran through me. I thought of the park rather unfairly as the ugly stepsister to Washington Square Park, the one who couldn't afford to move out of the East Village. That myopic feeling honestly didn't dissipate until probably the last five years when I finally noticed the improvements around the park motivated no doubt by the encroaching gentrification. The renovated Field House was the first thing I noticed along with the clean, modernized restrooms. The surrounding fountains and gardens also made quite an impression. Overall the park felt a lot more vibrant on my recent visit, and its countercultural legacy and persistent political activism make it feel all the more essential. RELATED - Exploring NYC?

I spend a lot of time in New York and always look forward to people watching in Tompkins Square. It's a haven for folks from all walks of life from the artistic and creative to the Wall Street type dude. Lots of characters! Lots of dogs...even better!

Where has this place been all my life!?…read more About two weeks ago, I met up with a group of moped riders and enthusiasts over in Long Beach. We were by the boardwalk but our 2-stroke engines were pretty loud and attracting too much negative attention. One of the fellas suggested we ride out to Floyd Bennett Field. Before I had a chance to think, the majority of the group enthusiastically shouted "Heck yeah!", "Great idea!", etc. Now I've heard of Floyd Bennett Field but I've never actually been there before. As soon as we arrive, I was blown away. It's almost like the Wild Wild West of New York. It's a former air base and was used as a "hub for naval activities during World War II". There was soo much space for activities! As we rode deeper towards the water, there were groups of friendly motorcyclists and sport cars enthusiasts who were... let's just say... testing out there vehicles. It was so much fun to watch. As we explored more, we found a really cool abandoned building which was clearly being used as a practice graffiti space for some friendly young gentleman. As an artist myself, I certainly appreciate the artform (when done legally and with tact of course) and it was very cool seeing it done in a "safe" environment and away from actually buildings or businesses. After gawking for a bit, we took a nice stroll along the rocks and the water, while appreciating the remote control airplanes overhead that were performing acrobatic barrel rolls and nose dives all across the sky. It is really a place that is hard describe. You really have to be there to see what it's all about. Do yourself a favor, if you live in New York, check this place out. I hear they even have a free archery range as well somewhere on premise. I'll just go ahead and let the photos/videos do more of the talking.

In years past I've come here to take a walk, ice skate, tour the historic airplanes in Hangar B (maybe Hangar B or A), and many many years ago to practice my driving. There is an athletic complex here which hosts an ice skating rink and other athletic pursuits. There are community gardens. There is even overnight camping. Great park, but watch for ticks!
