    Brooklyn Heights Promenade
    Helene S.

    Soak in the views from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade as the sun sets over Manhattan. Enjoy beautiful stroll on a clear Saturday night. Such a peaceful place to watch the sunset. Enjoy views of Staten Island. The Brooklyn Bridge. Freedom Tower. The Lower Manhattan Skyline. Walk along the elevated promenade, then down the walkways to get to the piers to see the water from a different angle. Enjoy the neighborhood's charm along the way. Beautiful views before having a late dinner with family in Brooklyn.

    Beautiful views, great energy and clean. Great place to relax, bike, hang with family and friends. Plenty to do in the area, pickle ball, skating, canoeing, plenty of restaurants and boat rides. If you've never been, you're missing out.

    Best view of lower Manhattan and it's FREE. This is a must visit regardless if you're a native New Yorker or just visiting.

    I'll never get tired of the promenade. From the pedestrian-friendly layout to the killer skyline views, it's become an essential part of almost every day for me. I love coming here, alone or with my dog, to wander and clear my mind. It's really easy to access from multiple streets throughout Brooklyn Heights (mostly at or north of Montague), and the northern end leaves you right next to a dog park, and a short walk away from DUMBO/the waterfront. Even if you don't live nearby, the promenade is worth a visit. It's a great way to be close to water and away from the usual city noise.

    There's a lot to do in this area, and a walk along the promenade has such gorgeous views of NYC and the Brooklyn Bridge!

    Keepin it real out here in Brooklyn Heights The promenade is such a popular hidden gem if that makes sense. I never regret making the walk down during my lunch breaks or whenever i'm in the area. The view is one of the best, comparable to the Gantry LIC view imo. The view is always different depending on the time you visit. The sunrise and sunset is truly something else. I hope to one day become those early joggers before sunrise, go out for an early jog and cool down at the promenade to the sunrise.

    You must must must go to this vista point if you visit NY!!! (No admission fee at all and hardly anyone here at the time)

    Can I rate this place 10 stars? Lol. This spot was pretty much the highlight of my short NYC trip. I visited during the day and night. During the day there was surprisingly not a lot of people here (even for a weekend). Great view of the NYC skyline. Plentiful benches here to sit down and absorb the sight. BUT!! You HAVE to go here at night! The view of the skyline at night here is GORGEOUS! There were only a few people around during this time (mainly locals walking their dogs), so this time can definitely be treated as a recovery period away from all of the hustle and bustle of NYC. Very peaceful (with the white sound noises of cars driving on the Brooklyn Bridge off to the distance). If you're already planning to visit Brooklyn Bridge Park then might as well stop by here (about a 10 minute walk, though got to deal with uphill/downhill elevation change). Pretty accessible via train (also about a 10 min walk from a couple of the train stations nearby).

    My Brooklyn Heights promenade is one of the most amazing beautiful sites in yes I stated in NYC. This Brooklyn Gal never gets tired of this iconic landscape in Brooklyn NY USA. Check it out it's amazing.

    I think I am discovering my inner Alvy Singer, exploring every romantic spot in New York City. The promenade is no exception. Standing tall above Brooklyn Bridge Park, this romantic walkway really hugs the East River, and it really brings out the best in Brooklyn outside of the Coney Island amusements. Whether it is the holiday season, or the height of summer, strolling this just feels like a New York thing to do. There is the all the sights to take in, like the Statue of Liberty, the major crossings like the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, Lower Manhattan, the New York Harbor, it just feels like a walking postcard. Because of the ice, I was unable to walk too far on it, but that is going to change. Once I get a nice day, I am going to make it a point to visit and explore more New York parks. This one is included on the list, along with the aforementioned park below the promenade. Yes, it is subway accessible. The 2/3, the R, and the 4 each can get you here. Then just take it all in and enjoy the day.

    Brooklyn Heights has a nice place for walking around. It has a promenade along the East River. This goes one for more than a mile, between the overpriced apartments and the river. Looking across the is one of the best parts. There's lots of cool views. Good place to sit and relax and just enjoy. It has a long path along the river. This has some benches facing the river. It sometimes gets crowded. There isn't much grass by the looks of things. It's more of a path than a park. There's plenty of space so you can get some exercise in without taking up any space. It certainly is the best way to see the river in Brooklyn. Lots of things to admire about it. There's beautiful and plentiful skyline views.

    After several trips to Manhattan, we decided to spend more time in Brooklyn and explore as much of the borough as we possibly can. We spent an evening in Bedford Stuyvesant around Christmas and, a few weeks ago, spent the day in the DUMBO district. One of the best parts was Brooklyn Heights Promenade! After walking all day, this was a beautiful, peaceful way to just sit, relax, and take in the amazing skyline. I actually dozed off for a couple of minutes on one of the many park benches that are available. Not a necessarily long promenade or huge park, Brooklyn Heights Promenade provides some of the best views of the East River and Lower Manhattan. It's surrounded by a really nice residential area of Brooklyn and allows you to escape the noise and hustle and bustle of the busy borough. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, and there were very few people around. It was very cold and windy along the river, so that may have been the reason, but as the weather warms, I'm sure this is a really popular spot, especially in the evenings. I can only imagine what this view is like at sunset. I want to see that nighttime skyline on our next visit to Brooklyn!

    Is there any street parking late at night close by?

    Not really. Parking is very tough to find, especially at night. You'd have to drive around for a while looking & hope you get lucky.

Central Park may be in a more convenient location for tourists, but Prospect Park is a divine place to explore, with plenty of twists and turns, and what the heck is that? Lots to look at! The other thing I liked was that we found free on-street parking right across the street on Ocean Avenue. Amazingly we also found parking right by Central Park as well. (This trip was a superb driving one) Even hanging out in the van, having a cold one at the parking spot was a fun experience. There's even a cafe in the middle of the park that is super nice! Worth seeking out when visiting Brooklyn.

Lots of families, etc. Still, it can be an enjoyable time. I do prefer weekday visits myself. The walking/bike paths are a great way to see the park in its entirety. Plenty of green space for a picnic, playing frisbee, etc. Playground and splash pads as well. Of course, I can't forget the lake with all of the ducks splashing about. It's really a wonderful way to spend a day in Brooklyn, getting away from it all.

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.
