Williamsburg, NY

I went here on a sunny 40 degree November day. With the proper attire, it was a totally pleasant experience. This is an adorable and newly built park on Williamsburg’s waterfront (just north of the Williamsburg bridge). The playground is amazing! There’s a short boardwalk with plenty of benches. There is a taco shack with outdoor seating. There are world class porter potties towards the south end of the park. And there is Williamsburg dining all around you. But honestly, I just went here to see it with my own eyes. The view across the East River here isn’t so appealing. No skyscrapers or landmark buildings. And the Williamsburg bridge isn’t too pretty. This place is a better draw during the summer going into evening house when the geyser sprinklers light up as well as the bridge and all of Manhattan across you. There is also a beach volleyball court and a place for kids and adults to bike ride (an adorable hilly bike track seen in the video below). I still much prefer Brooklyn Bridge Park, DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights Promenade for the overall vibe and the scenery. But this is definitely the better park on a very hot summer day when you need your kids to run into water.
