Absolutely love this park! Came here for the 1st time in May for their free archery class. Yes…read moreARCHERY! Apparently every month they host s free class where the park rangers teach you how to shoot an arrow with a bow. I had a blast! You get to practice with a group (usually parents & their kids) for at least an hour or two. The only catch is you have to register online at nycparks.gov in advance. Also, this park has a large trail, lake, carosel, playground, baseball field & more!

My favorite part is the dog park. Many people bring their dogs here to run around and play. The park also has a beach area which is nice. This park is very peaceful and clean as well. There's also a huge grass area where you can fly kites, have a picnic, etc. Tons of parking and also bathrooms are available!!!

There is a 9/11 memorial with views of the financial district, and the same trees that line the world trade center area were planted at this site. Its a very unassuming park. It's nice to stroll through if you are in the area. Just remember that there are no restrooms or water fountains. Apparently, "frequent attempts to add active recreation facilities to this site failed as Parks determined that the site remain the most beautiful passive park in the city."

Came here with the family after receiving the township news that fireworks for Independence Day…read morewould be held here. It's a small park and has some parking but it's small. The waterfront brings cool breeze on hot summer days which is a plus. There's also restrooms which is a plus. The only problem is the restroom has no air condition so imagine the funky oder! Phew...! There is also no soap so I'm glad I had my hand sanitizer right after washing my hands with only water. There's also a stage performance of live band which was awesome for entertaining everyone while we wait for fireworks in the dusk. Because many others were here with their pets and also seeing the fireworks, there's so much traffic and road closures with cops detouring all traffic. The firework show above the waterfront was up front and very beautiful. I will definitely come back again next year but definitely earlier to get better parking. After certain time, you can't drive your vehicle into the park. The cops make people find parking elsewhere and the walk into the park gets pretty lengthy.

I went to this dog park yesterday. Unfortunately I was alone to roam free. There were 2 large…read morefenced in areas to play in. Both had gazebos for my humans to sit in and a few benches scattered about. The best part of the park was the giant dog ramp that I could run up and down. Pros: Lots of space - Dog ramp - Grass - Poop bags available - Fountains for me and my humans Cons: - In the middle of no where - Little Shade - Porta Potty on site (wouldve liked a real bathroom) I might go back for a second chance if Im in the area! ~L

Both sides have water available for the dogs and a number of different obstacles for them to run around on off-leash and areas to drink, but also some random puddles. Owners have to keep an eye on their dogs, so even if they are social sometimes they can fight. Almost all the dogs I've met here have been pretty nice though. Lot of bugs at the edges, though, especially in the muddy areas, and I killed a tick I saw, too, so you have to be careful. Parking can get quite busy at peak times.

DiMattina Dog Park is a dog park actually as one of the pictures show. It is south of the…read morechildren's playground, and the entrance is on Hick's Street. Although the park was renovated and reopened last year the community members involved agree that it could have been better. Pros- Small dog run now available, good amount of benches for seating, lovely trees to provide shade, some nice landscaping attempted, two locations for hoses with working water, majority of owners are responsible and there are many regulars, lighted at night although treed areas still dark of course, parents may find it convenient to bring dog to play while watching baseball or softball game going on in adjacent field (although should pay more attention to their dog if staying in the run). Cons - Dog walkers and irresponsible people let/put their dogs into the tree and landscaping enclosures and some areas have been destroyed, the stone chosen is very dusty and dissolved into dust in many spots so dogs get very dusty/dirty which is worsened in warm months by the hose areas which some people leave running after use creating giant mud puddles, trees near entrance drop berries in late Spring/early Summer and many dogs spend the whole time eating the berries and get stained with berry juice when playing, small dogs beware the benches as they are made with a wide gap between the first two slats and legs often get stuck with potential to injure, digging has created multiple areas with holes that have been filled in or not, creating tripping hazards, under benches is not concrete so dogs have taken to digging holes that never get filled in and thus invite more dogs to dig, doggy pool with drain hole which may be a pro if you like to let your dog cool off in water but it tends to stay very dirty and dogs will always drink from it-it's very heavy material even empty so difficult to clean out regularly and many dogs regularly jump in during games of chase and jump out soaking wet so soon all dogs at play are soaking wet and muddy even if they didn't go near the pool. We'll keep going here because it really is fairly nice for the options in the area and the regulars are nice people. I just wanted to be detailed for the sake of the review. FYI- although there is now a "small dog side" most people still use the original (large dog) side for all sizes. It's more of an unspoken rule that if someone has a dog that should not be around other dogs, they go into the empty small-dog side and toss a ball or otherwise exercise their dog. Unfortunately, some people do not bother to do this and our own dog has been attacked by a ball aggressive dog.
