    "Expect the Unexpected" - this probably applies to many places in NYC that are hidden treasures, truly. The ones that not discovered by many, but are neighborhood gems that make us fall in love with the city all over again. One of those treasures in Narrows Botanical Garden. It's a tiny stretch of green between busy Belt and lazy Shore Road, transformed into oasis by volunteers. It's a quiet place to spend a sunny afternoon at, watch the birds and butterflies (and turtles!!). Shimmering waters of the Bay and Verrazano can be seen in a distance, benches are clean and grass is lovely. Stroll around to see the native plants, or enjoy watching bees and butterfly houses, the quiet simplicity of zen garden or murmur of alpine mini-fountains... This is a sanctuary. For us, for plants, for local wild life - a beautiful retreat for everyone. Keep it safe and enjoy it.

    Awesome hidden gem In Bay Ridge that I dont want other people to know about Lol. You know the more people who hear about this place. Then they will ruin this sweet little garden which is so peaceful and serene. I usually come by early in the afternoon on my daily exercise and enjoy the breeze and birds abounding in this garden. I am a big fan of meditation and this place is perfect. The only noise barely noticeable is the cars on the Belt Pkwy only yards away. Also on the perimeter is a gold fish pond which is quite cute. Looks like they took one of the old sand boxes. You know the ones that parks used to have back in the 70's oh wait. Guess all these millenials have no clue what I am talking about. Great place for relaxation or a sun tan. Cause there are always people toasting on the lawns here.

    I love this park, always have ever since I was a child. Does anyone know if they spray their grass and flowers with pesticides ?

    It looks like it has been abandoned, like no one is taking care of it. But you can still appreciate the view on Manhattan

Summer movie nights, kayaking, the sports courts--basketball, handball, pickleball--you name it. There are wide open lawns for picnics, BBQ areas with tables, great restaurants, 1 Hotel right on the waterfront, and even ferry service. And the views? Absolutely stunning. The Manhattan skyline feels like part of the experience--an everyday backdrop that somehow never gets old.I truly can't brag about this place enough. It's a must‑visit.

This park features an elevated walkway with Manhattan skyline views, a sugar factory-themed playground, sand volleyball and bocce courts, water features, and a taco stand. Moreover, this park has a gorgeous view of the Manhattan skyline and Wiliamsburg bridge. Parking is very challenging so it's best to take a public transit. As a first time visitor, I really like this park and its modern design. This park was not built when I was exiled to LA over a decade ago! Overall, I am glad I enjoyed this park and its stunning view. I highly recommend you visit.

    This Domino Park is beautifully renovated into a modern park. Not really a children's park in my…read moreopinion. Looked more like a museum or some nice walkway to enjoy sightseeing of the Williamsburg bridge and the lower east side views of Manhattan, which is not that spectacular in my opinion because there are too many government buildings in that section so it's all brown over on the Manhattan side. Oh wells. Other than that, I'm shocked to see nice bathrooms a block away from the park for Domino Park guests! The bathrooms were really nice and modern! Each bathroom had dimmed lighting with a baby diaper changing station. One of the bathrooms was dirty with pee on the floor so I had to go to another one. Did not expect these nice bathrooms to get dirty like that! There were more bathrooms downstairs besides the ones on the first floor. The door to the bathrooms was very nice too! What a great job they did to this park. I cannot believe the Domino sugar factory still exists or is standing because I used to take the train and they be doing construction for many years for I don't know what reason. Looked like they turn downstairs into this nice modern park. So I went to the park to go to a Target pop up and got some nice freebies. There was enough space for pop ups and large crowds. Need to check out the rest of the park next time I'm here. Too bad there is no subway or trains going to this park and you need to resort to buses that take forever to arrive.
