The side road surrounding the park has lots of cracks and uneven pavements, that makes walking around kind of hard.

There are lots of slides for kiddies to older children and all play areas are newly constructed, colorful, and sturdy. Kids will have fun running up and down all of the areas.

Brave little kids can rock climb up to the slide and little babies and kids alike can crawl and run under the rock arch. There are some nice trees around, making leaf gathering a fun task for little ones. Includes slides of varying levels and lots of challenging things to climb on and jump to. If you live in the area or going to be in the area and want a playground your kids will really delight in, give it a visit. If you are faint of heart and can't imagine your kids walking across a rock (maybe 8 feet up) - skip this one

Owl's Head Park has a rich and interesting history.

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!

As I'm kicking around in the daisy's, big dog has other ideas of a hoot and a holler. He jailbreaks at an unsuspecting hound, a sizable hound at that, tall leggy proportions, trim at the quarters -- thinner necked and bigger headed. Catastrophe averted somehow and the AstroTurf is the closest replica to real grass, stringy as this breed might be - which it is. Like Poa Anna turf that's prominent in Hawaii. And we continued on towards the main soccer field the grass field looked quite the same with exceptional bounce and spring, I felt the decathloner in me and bounced along to the other side. With it's understandably poor upkeep, ya know -- cutbacks, cutbacks, the park has a spirit to it, like a drunkard whose not been home for a day or so and is in bad need of a shower, a shave and a change of clothes.

There are huge enclosed fields, some with artificial turf for soccer. I saw people running track, exercising and walking their dogs. It is a Loop trail, I started at the parking lot and went around the front through the little walkway that leads to the fields. I let my dog into a giant field where the gat can be closed and let her run. Then we walked towards the water and you see a trail start. A little ominous on a cloudy day and not many people but we kept going. The trail goes along the water line. Carcasses of boats along the coast probably from Sandy but interesting to see. Trail loops back to the parking lot. Not a hike but a nice walk, we did 1.41 miles. The only thing I didn't like was not a bench anywhere along the trail. I have a dachshund that likes to sit on benches when she's getting tired. I have to say it's pretty clean! Olive usually finds every chicken bone or other garbage, she found none here so it was a good walk. I'm using bending down twenty times to pull something out of her mouth Nice place to exercise your dog in the field, clean, garbage cans along the trail. I'll be going back.

The view is picturesque with the tops of some of the amusement park rides rising behind the outfield walls. The announcers are fun. All types of promotions and events are held.

Of course Nathan's Hot Dogs are available, along with the standard ballpark & amusement park favorites such as cotton candy & popcorn. There's also a team store that can be accessed from outside the park. I love the view from the lower deck & the seats just to each side of home plate. It's a great view which gives one the feel of being a part of the game. Following the game one can walk over to the amusement park area of Coney Island and order another (or two) Nathan's Hot Dogs is you're a fan of them like me. Access is quite easy via the F Train, which we've taken from both Jay Street / Metro Tech or the Carroll Street Station. My Grandson loved going to the ballpark. When he was younger he especially loved the Star Wars Promotion when he got to have a light saber battle with a Jedi Knight. My time for following the Mets & their Minor League teams ended when they traded one of my favorite players from my college Alma Mater. I hold sports grudges. :) The Park hosts sporting events & concerts in addition to the Brooklyn Cyclones. My experience with it is only that of baseball.

There are homeless who occasional build tent like shelters. They never bothered me, sure does it take away form a picturesque view, yes. But this Americana at its finest, the good, bad and ugly. This park reminds be of what a disaster zone would look like in an urban environment or would scenery for a zombie apocalypse. There are still gritty parts of New York. This is it if you're into it.
