Brooklyn Bridge Park

Brooklyn Bridge Park, a long green ribbon

The Brooklyn audio-guided tour has you discover Brooklyn Bridge Park, a vast green space of thirty-four hectares that runs along the East River, from Atlantic Avenue to the Manhattan Bridge. Much more recent than the great parks of the city, it has become one of the favourite relaxation places of New Yorkers.

A park reclaimed from the docks

Laid out on former industrial docks on the bank of the East River, Brooklyn Bridge Park has transformed the Brooklyn waterfront into a green promenade. Its various piers offer a multitude of activities: sports grounds, carousels, beaches and gardens. Above all, the park offers magnificent panoramas of the Manhattan skyline and its financial district.

What there is to see

Along its thirty-four hectares, the park invites strolling, picnicking and relaxation by the water, lulled by the lapping of the East River. There is Jane's Carousel, beaches, sports grounds and many green spaces. The views of the bridges and the Manhattan skyline make it one of the finest waterfront parks in New York.
